House Speaker Paul Ryan stated today that Donald Trump's recent comments regarding Judge Gonzalo Curiel are both "racist" and "indefensible," but Ryan reiterated that he still thinks Republicans should vote for Trump this November.
Just days after Speaker Paul Ryan formally endorsed former rival Donald Trump, the House Speaker was taken aback by Trump's recent "racist" statements regarding a federal judge's Hispanic heritage. Ryan was quick to repudiate Trump's statements, lashing out at the Republican nominee, reports the Washington Post.
"Claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. It's totally unacceptable," said Speaker Paul Ryan.
