House speaker tilts at Trump over racism claims
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHouse Speaker Paul Ryan says anyone who wants to be the Republican presidential nominee must reject any racist group or individual.
Ryan makes the tacit swipe at GOP front-runner Donald Trump as voters in 11 states head to the polls on Super Tuesday. Ryan tells reporters that the GOP is the party of President Abraham Lincoln and “this party does not prey on people’s prejudices.”
He bemoans the current discourse in the GOP and says it is time to get back to focusing on how Republicans would solve the nation’s problems.
Ryan was the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2012. He says he has tried to avoid commenting on the presidential race but felt a need to speak up.
