Speaker Paul Ryan said Friday he personally called Donald Trump to reprimand him over the controversial comments he made about a U.S. district court judge that some have called racist.

"I have (talked to him,) and I have explained to him exactly what I thought about that comment," Ryan said on "Good Morning America" Friday.

"This is something that needed to be condemned. That comment is beyond the pale. That is not politically correctness - suggesting that a person cannot do their job because of their race or ethnicity. That is not politically incorrect thing to do, that's just a wrong thing to say," Ryan said.

Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, has argued that Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing lawsuits against Trump University, cannot do so fairly because of his Mexican heritage. Trump said his promise to build a wall between U.S. and Mexico makes it "an absolute conflict" for Curiel, who was born in Indiana though his parents are from Mexico.

Paul Ryan is still tying himself in knots trying to explain how he can endorse Donald Trump while trying to distance himself from him at the same time.

7. The Speaker thinks it's his job to "scold" the Presidential candidate?

Really? Paul, are you gonna be Trump's daddy all the way through and tell him about all the stupid and mean things he says? THIS is your "LEADER"? Such an opportunistic tool and can't not support him.
