I am not going to defend Donald Trumpnot now, not in the future, Ryan says in the audio obtained by Breitbart News.
The October call was for House Republican members, Breitbart said, and its unclear who was on the call and whether the participants knew they were being recorded.
Look, you guys know I have real concerns with our nominee, Ryan said on the call. This is going to be a turbulent month. Many of you on this call are facing tough reelections. Some of you are not. But with respect to Donald Trump, I would encourage you to do what you think is best and do what you feel you need to do. Personally, you need to decide whats best for you. And you all know whats best for you where you are.
Key Trump adviser Stephen Bannon is the former head of Breitbart, which has feuded with Ryan in the past.

(2,198 posts)When they finally get around to coming for the rest the country will be in the pits of hell unless people wake up, vote the SOBs out and take back our government. And I do mean take back our government and all its agencies and institutions.
Our Justice system must be fair and honest to do this. Untold resources have been put into place and our entire justice system from courthouse to jailhouse has been infiltrated with these monsters. And by design it turns us against each other and makes us hate law and order. When law and order should work for the good of citizens and not against us which it now does. White collar criminals who wreck havoc on our economy and educational system and banking systems ought to be subjected to the most stringent justice and they should be placed in prison for long sentences while petty thieves should be placed in local jails for short times. In our current system the bigger the non-violent crime the less time served if any while pot smokers my spend a lifetime behind bars. This is the system that must be changed and it will only be changed when ordinary citizens stand up to the oligarchs.
Fuck the likes of Wikileaks and the Snowdens and all the others who scheme to set us against each other through wicked use of hacked information. They use it for no real good and what has resulted from their escapades is a nation turning on itself from the inside and making enemies of those on the outside. It has not worked to improve our lives in any way. It has placed more power and opportunity into the hands of the evil. It gave us 45!!
