"Earlier this week, Ryan condemned Trump’s comments questioning whether federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel could impartially preside over two civil lawsuits against Trump University (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/business/trump-university.htm). "Claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/issues/racism.htm) 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.”
============================
Thanks to ABC News for this report.
Imho, Trump is now being chided by high members of his own political party over his comments concerning Judge Curiel. When the Speaker of the House issues such a statement, that has got to have Trump worried and on the defensive or it certainly should.
