House Speaker Paul Ryan again broke with Donald Trump, rebuking his party’s presidential nominee for Wednesday night comments in which he praised Vladimir Putin and suggested the Russian president is a better leader than President Obama. “Vladimir Putin is an aggressor that does not share our interests,” Paul said in a statement. “Vladimir Putin is violating the sovereighty of neighboring countries. It certainly appears that he is conducting state-sponsored cyber attacks on what appears to be our political system.” However, he added, it’s “not my job” to comment on everything Trump says.
