5:40Now PlayingHouse Speaker Paul Ryan has endorsed Donald Trump. He’s now disavowing Trump’s latest racist comments, but still endorsing him. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday that he wouldn't defend presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's attacks on a federal judge's ethnicity because they were "indefensible."
"Claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment," Ryan said at a news conference. "I think that should be absolutely disavowed."
But, Ryan said that Republicans would still be better off with Trump in the White House than Hillary Clinton.
"I'm not going to defend these kinds of comments because they're indefensible," Ryan said. "I'm going to defend our ideas. I'm going to defend our majority."
Trump had said that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over cases against Trump University in California, has a conflict of interest because of his "Mexican heritage." The businessman has railed against Hispanics since he launched his campaign, when he infamously stated that some undocumented immigrants were "rapists" and "criminals.””*
