Mike Malloy - Paul Ryan Rips Donald Trump And Calls Him A Racist
Speaker Paul D. Ryan, the nations highest-ranking Republican, on Tuesday called Donald J. Trumps remarks about a Latino judge racist, an extraordinary indictment that generated a fresh wave of criticism and panic from other Republicans. By the end of the day, Mr. Trump was forced into a rare moment of damage control and said that his words had been misconstrued.
Mr. Trump, who said last week that a Mexican-American judge in a case involving Trump University was biased against him because of his heritage, issued a statement Tuesday saying, I do not feel that ones heritage makes them incapable of being impartial. He added that he was simply questioning whether he was receiving a fair trial, but he did not apologize for his remarks, something many Republicans had urged him to do.
Mr. Ryan said Mr. Trumps criticism of the judge, Gonzalo P. Curiel of United States District Court, was the textbook definition of a racist comment. But Mr. Ryan also reiterated his support for Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
