is also telling the world Trump lied.

As well as being the POS Ryan is by not addressing the actual problem with Trump's remark - the ignorance and the racism.

But then Ryan wouldn't address it since he doesn't care about that.

Yeah, I can never remember it when people around me use words like “shithole.” Unless, of course, they use it all the time and it’s nothing special.

Ryan's a coward by not addressing the real issue and Cotton by pretending he can't recall.

Neither care though. Racism is their go-to to rile their base - same as Trump.

They use code words and phrases instead of Trump's obvious racism. A difference that isn't.
