House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Thursday said President Donald Trump’s remarks attacking the appearance of “Morning Joe” host Mika Brzezinski were not appropriate or helpful.
“I just saw it a little bit ago. Obviously I don’t see that as an appropriate comment,” Ryan said during his weekly press conference. “I think — look, what we’re trying to do around here is improve the tone and the civility of the debate, and this obviously doesn’t help do that.”
Ryan was the latest in a line of Republicans lawmakers to condemn Trump’s attack on Brzezinski, whom Trump called “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and claimed visited his Mar-a-Lago resort while “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
