Ryan: 'There is no moral relativism when it comes to neo-Nazis'

Source: The Hill

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Monday said there can be no "moral relativism" when talking about neo-Nazis in his sharpest statement yet on the violence last week in Charlottesville, Va.

Ryan's message, delivered as a post on Facebook, did not mention President Trump, but was clearly worded as a response to the controversy surrounding the president's remarks on the issue, in which he said both sides were to blame for Charlottesville — white supremacists and those fighting them.

As long as hate exists, Ryan said, it needs to be confronted.

"We need to call it what it is. And so long as it is weaponized for fear and terror, we need to confront it and defeat it," he said. "That is why we all need to make clear there is no moral relativism when it comes to neo-Nazis. We cannot allow the slightest ambiguity on such a fundamental question."
Trump's comments last week that there were good people on both sides of the clashes in Charlottesville have been rebuked by a series of Republicans. They have also raised consternation among many in the GOP who have worried their party could lose any chance of winning over members of minority groups given Trump's rhetoric.

Supposedly.


“We’re prepared to help Paul Ryan rally votes for impeachment,” the unidentified staffer told the magazine in an article published late Sunday.

Trump is saying, in essence, all news is #FakeNews or morally relative, EXCEPT the things I tell you! Those are 100% correct!!

However, doing everything in our power to prevent African Americans from voting is quite all right.
