Donald Trump lashed out at Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday after Ryan called on members of the GOP to instead focus on their own elections.
In a conference call, Ryan told fellow Republicans that he will no longer defend Trump and will instead use the next 29 days of the election cycle to focus on maintaining his party’s hold on the House and Senate.
“The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities,” Ryan’s spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, told CNN on Monday, referring to the conference call in which Ryan told his fellow lawmakers that “you all need to do what’s best for you and your district.”
