House Speaker Paul Ryan said today he still supports Donald Trump, despite "racist" comments by the Republican nominee. When asked about Trump's continued claim that Judge Gonzalo Curiel is biased because he's of Mexican descent, the House Speaker rejected Trump's assertion as "sort of the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed, it's absolutely unacceptable." But he maintained his endorsement of Trump over Clinton, saying "I believe we have more common ground on policy issues and a higher likelihood of policies enacted with him, not her."
