Paul Ryan isn’t backing down from this criticism of Trump, as he reiterated in an interview that should drop this Sunday.

And I very much doubt Trump is going to back down either. As the execrable Clare McCaskill said on Morning Joe, Trump has said he hasn’t even apologized to GOD Himself – there’s no way he’s going to apologize to the American people!! Or a “Mexican” for that matter.
From ABC News:
House Speaker Paul Ryan doubled down on his critique of Donald Trump for his attack on a federal judge over his Mexican heritage, telling ABC’s George Stephanopoulos “that comment is beyond the pale.”
Earlier this week, Ryan condemned Trump’s comments questioning whether federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel could impartially preside over two civil lawsuits against Trump University. “Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” he said.
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump said Republicans “have to get over” his comments about Curiel. He’s also suggested the criticism he’s received is the result of political correctness.
“That’s not political correctness,” Ryan responded to Stephanopoulos in an interview today. “Suggesting that a person can’t do their job because of their race or ethnicity, that’s not a politically incorrect thing to do. That’s just a wrong thing to say.”
He’s right. Political correctness is stupid and it’s hurting this country, but that’s no excuse to say the dumbest most outrageous things you can.
But if you think I’m wrong and Trump is right on this, don’t worry – he’ll say something worse soon and you’ll have to defend that too!! LOL!!
