UPDATE: 4:34 p.m.
Ryan’s office later Sunday disputed CBS’ transcript of the speaker’s comments about Trump’s deportation plan. According to Ryan’s office, he said: “About the deportation, I don’t support that as well. That’s not part of our agenda.”
CBS has since added a note to its transcript that reads: “Speaker Paul Ryan’s office disputes this section of the transcript. They say that Speaker Paul Ryan said, “about the deportation, I don’t support that as well. That’s not part of our agenda” not the CBS News transcript, “about the deportation, I don’t support that and he said, ‘Well, that’s not part of our agenda.’” Watch the video here.
Original story below:
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Sunday that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump told him that his plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants was not part of his “agenda.”
Ryan was asked by CBS News’ “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson if he has policy discussions with Trump. Ryan said that they have discussed Trump’s proposed ban on all Muslims from entering the country and his plan to deport millions.
“Look, I’ve spoken to him about the Muslim ban and how I disagree with it. About-about the deportation, I don’t support that and he said, ‘Well, that’s not part of our agenda,'” Ryan said.
Ryan went on to say that they have also discussed the economy and balancing the federal budget.
Trump once estimated that it would take 18 months to two years “if handled properly” to deport undocumented immigrants. He had said in November that he would use “deportation force” to remove everyone.
A spokeswoman for Trump didn’t immediately return TPM’s request for comment.
and Donnie probably told you he was wearing a condom, Paulie
So the question is who is trump lying to this time?
Just curious if you asked him how many of his rally applause lines are complete BS. While we’re on the subject, since your whole rationalization for supporting Trump is his list of 11 potential SCOTUS justices, doesn’t it give you a little pause to hear that Trump’s insincere campaign promises are only put out to attract support and don’t reflect his intentions? Consider the possibility that you’re being conned just like all his rally-goers, Ryan.
If you believe Trump, I have some water front property in Arizona I’d like to talk to you about. You can’t be naive enough to believe Donald Trump, can you?
Trump said what you wanted to hear and now you support him?
The GOP panders so much that now they are believing it too?
And Paul was told that if he took the speaker job that the GOPTP would support him. How’d that work for you Paul? And you think Trump’s gonna be better? Truer to his word?
You really do deserve what you are getting.
