Paul Ryan 'still has faith in Trump' - BBC News

Paul Ryan says he "won't prejudge anything", in response to a question about Republicans running away from the president.
He insists that Congress can continue to pass bills and make reforms, without worrying about how Trump's scandal may affect their electability. He doesn't respond to questions about establishing an independent commission to investigate the Russian meddling claims. When asked if he still has faith in the president, he says "I do" as he walks away from the podium.

[anthonypalumbo]

i cant put my finger on it but something about Paul Ryan bothers me

[lilfroggyfrog]

He spent an entire 4 minutes basically repeating himself. Didn't provide any insight at all, or answer questions.

[cindyweir]

Paul Ryan reminds us every time he opens his mouth that we don't matter...only his donors.

[rminami]

Translation: we're gonna deal with Trump's scandals as little as possible and focus on cutting taxes for rich people

[ianbengston]

I could definitely have him as vice president

[googlebitch]

can u give that to me on a power point please

[Claudiaistheteacherspet]

Trump doesn't remember Paul Ryan's name correctly, right Ron?

[PLEASANTGIFFT]

Faith in trump...those words should never be in a sentence

[alexandraz.]

"Armchair quarterback", huh? Interesting phrase. I'm used to "armchair anthropologist", but I guess this one works too.

Harm the President?? If no Party Lines, than why would you care, .... Harm of the Country is what is at stake here Mr. Paul Ryan!!!

[homewall]

You don't have to harm a fool who brings it all on himself. He can't even follow the cover up stories his staff provide.

[Michelangelo]

Great press conference and great responses. Good job Speaker Paul Ryan.

Note: This comes from someone who views are in the middle of the political spectrum and who has often voted for Democrats like Al Gore and Senator Bill Nelson in the past.

[ismaelsanta-cruz]

Paul Ryan if you wanna help the american people fix the problem and the problem is Donald Trump's presidency. Impeach him and his whole gang of goons.

[Barnabas]

If giving yourself a huge tax break and kicking 20 million people off healthcare for pre-existing conditions is the republicans idea of moving forward than we should be in pretty good shape!

[eoe]

Meet the boneless, predatory worm that's taller then you

[cojo]

ryan had better stand up, where is the senate and the house members, tell you what president Trump's votes are out here watching.

[colormebrave]

"As democracy is perfected, the Office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron."   H.L. Mencken   The Baltimore Sun  07/26/1920.
