BY AARON RUPAR JUL 13, 2016 10:26 AM
During a CNN town hall last night, a student named Zachary Marcone asked House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) how he can morally justify his support for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
I cannot and will not support Donald Trump, and it concerns me when the Republican leadership is supporting somebody who is openly racist and has said Islamophobic statements, wants to shut down our borders, Marcone said. Can you tell me, how can you morally justify your support for this kind of candidate, somebody who could be very destructive for our nation.
Ryans response? Hillary Clinton is worse, and like it or not, voters face a binary choice when casting their ballot for president.
Not supporting Trump basically means youre going to help elect Hillary Clinton, and I dont think Hillary Clinton is going to support any of the things that you stand for if youre a Republican.

It's not as if there's any substantive difference between Trump and Duke.
