House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) was not interested in commenting on the latest Trump controversy de jour Wednesday morning. In a growing trend across Capitol Hill, Ryan sought neither to defend nor criticize Trump’s latest comments about Clinton’s religion.
During a press conference held by House leaders, Ryan was asked if he was bothered by Trump casting doubts on Clinton’s religious ties Tuesday during a meeting with evangelical leaders.
“We don’t know anything about Hillary in terms of religion,” Trump said Tuesday, “Now, she’s been in the public eye for years and years, and yet …there’s nothing out there. There’s like nothing out there. It’s going to be an extension of Obama but it’s going to be worse, because with Obama you had your guard up. With Hillary you don’t, and it’s going to be worse.”
“Does it worry you, he’s going after Hillary Clinton’s religion,” a reporter asked at Ryan’s press conference Tuesday.
Ryan grinned, clearly a bit tired of the Trump questions.
“Next question,” Ryan said.
Reporters laughed.
“I got nothing for you today, man, nice try,” Ryan said.
hahaha isn’t it cute my party chose a racist lying con man and we all know it but we’re just gonna act like it’s no big fucking deal.
It is a big fucking deal.

The words of Edward R. Murrow during the McCarthy era are true about Trump. It’s about time Republicans stood up to the threat he poses:
“No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.”
