U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) believes that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trumps recent, racist attack on a federal judge Trump claimed that Judge Gonzalo Curiel must remove himself from a case involving one of Trumps companies because Curiel is of Mexican heritage is wrong. But Ryan is voting for Trump anyway.
In an interview with Up Front with Vicki McKenna, a Milwaukee radio show, Ryan said that the comment about the judge the other day just was out of left field and that he completely disagree[s] with the thinking behind that. But the fact that Trump simultaneously launched a racist attack while calling into question whether he will respect the rule of law if elected president is no reason to vote for a Democrat, Ryan insists.
If you want to get rid of Obamacare, Ryan explained, you need to pass a new law that the president must sign. We need a partner in the White House, the Speaker continued, to help us advance these bills that weve been passing these conservative reforms that we want to get in law.
"And, in case there is any doubt, that partner is Donald Trump. It is clear to me, Ryan said of Trump, that we have somebody who is a willing partner in advancing the GOPs legislative agenda. By contrast, I know for darn sure Hillary Clinton is going to go in the opposite direction.
