Paul Ryan Avoids Question About Trump’s Treatment of Women

Now that Paul Ryan has sort-of made peace with Donald Trump, he’s getting lots of questions about the presumptive GOP nominee and the controversies swirling around him.

And so today Ryan was asked about the New York Times report about Trump’s treatment of women. And even though one of the main women interviewed for the report said she was taken out of context, others shared some pretty disturbing anecdotes.

When Ryan was confronted abot it today, he said, “I’m not gonna get into the day-to-day up-and-down of this campaign.” He said he wants to focus on “policies and principles.”

So get ready of months and months of every single Republican being asked about Trump’s behavior, folks…
