Does Ryan approve of Trump’s many appalling statements and divisive rhetoric? His inaction speaks much louder than words.

MOUNT PLEASANT, WI- Ryan Solen says Paul Ryan must revoke his endorsement of Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump. Solen, the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District and running for Paul Ryan’s House seat, declares Donald Trump too dangerous to America to endorse. Paul Ryan needs to rescind his endorsement of Donald Trump and decline his acceptance of Donald Trump’s endorsement for the good of America and the Republican Party.

Paul Ryan’s endorsement of Donald Trump implies tacit approval of Trump’s many appalling statements and divisive rhetoric. Ryan Solen, a longtime Democrat, is against many of Paul Ryan’s and the GOP’s views but respects their right to hold them. Donald Trump is a Republican in name only and is rapidly weakening the party to which Paul Ryan is so committed. If the Republican Party falls apart it will further fracture America at a time when the country needs to come together for a stronger future.

Donald Trump recently hinted at assassination of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by the “Second Amendment people” in order to prevent Supreme Court appointments, accused President Barack Obama of creating the ISIS terrorist group, insulted a Gold Star family and wrongly attacked their Muslim beliefs, criticized a Fire Marshal for doing the job he was sworn to do, declared his support of dissolution of the separation of church and state via revocation of the Johnson Amendment, thus allowing churches to endorse or oppose political candidates, proclaimed that if he loses the presidential election it is because the American electoral system is “rigged”, and that if Hillary Clinton wins Pennsylvania it will be because she cheated. Despite being completely outrageous and false, Paul Ryan has not revoked his endorsement of Mr. Trump.

Paul Ryan can say that his endorsement of Donald Trump is not a “blank check” but his inaction speaks much louder than words.
