PAUL RYAN: Well, like I said on the Charlottesville thing, it was– there were like, three comments. One of them was great, two of them– no, four comments, I think. Two good. Two bad. You know? I think, like you say, like I said before, he’s learning. I know his heart’s in the right place. And–

JOHN DICKERSON: How do you know that?

PAUL RYAN: Just– I’ve had some candid conversations with him about this. Especially during that time. I’ve had some very candid conversations. And so I do really believe his heart’s in the right place. I think what matters is that we have to show people that we are an inclusive society that–that–that we want everyone to succeed. And I think there’s more that all of us as leaders have got to do to be inclusive with people and make people feel like they’re included in society. And I don’t– I think we’ve got a lot– a long ways to go, just as a society and a country for that.


Here’s a clue for Paul Ryan. Trump’s heart is with racists. We know this because Trump has said so on every occasion that he has been free to speak his mind without a script in front of him. It is always a tell with Republicans that they are screwed when they start talking about a person’s heart instead of their words or actions.
