    The Wisconsin Republican was referring to Trump’s asking during an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers why the U.S. should admit more immigrants from “shithole countries” like Africa.

    Trump on Friday denied using certain “language,” but didn’t offer more specifics. Illinois Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin said Friday that Trump “said these hate-filled things and he said them repeatedly.”

    Ryan said his ancestors were Irish and “were really looked down upon.” He called immigration “a great story” and said Haitians in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin, are “incredible citizens.”

    Ryan made his remark Friday at a public forum at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

    Does Ryan have the word “wrong” in his vocabulary? What a gutless and spineless wimp. This guy fashions himself as a leader? Just say “The presidents cimments were wrong and unacceptable” plain and simple.
