Speaker Ryan is Not On Board with Trump’s Judge Remarks
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, is facing more criticism from some supporters over his comments about a judge overseeing the Trump University fraud case. Trump claimed the judge may be “biased” because of his Mexican heritage.
FOX’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington:
House Speaker Paul Ryan says he disavows Donald Trump’s view that the judge overseeing the Trump University cannot be objective because of his Mexican heritage:
(Ryan) ”Claiming a person can’t do the job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie isn’t defending what Trump said, but he did say he had the right to say it:
(Christie) ”It’s refreshing to have somebody who is willing to speak their mind.”
Speaker Ryan, who made the comments as he unveiled anti-poverty proposals, is still standing by Trump’s campaign, saying Democrat Hillary Clinton is not the answer.
