House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday said he would not support a censure—or formal rebuke—of President Trump for his comments on the Charlottesville violence. Speaking at a CNN town hall, Ryan said a censure would amount to a “counterproductive... partisan hack-fest” that does not foster unity. Ryan condemned Trump for his “morally ambiguous” comments which seemed to equate white supremacist-fueled deadly violence with counter-protesters, adding that the president “messed up.”
