Trump un-invited to Wisconsin’s fall festival, says Paul Ryan
Ryan “sickened” by recent video released
of Trump’s awful comments about women
It was a simple thing to say but, perhaps, not one that should have to be made to a presidential candidate. It was also a tad surprising who said it.
House Speaker Paul Ryan said he is “sickened” by Donald Trump’s crude comments about women, revealed in an audio from 2005, and is calling on the Republican presidential nominee to show greater respect for women.

In a statement late Friday, Ryan says Trump will no longer be attending Saturday’s annual fall festival in Wisconsin.
The all-GOP event in Ryan’s home state had been planned with Trump, Ryan, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the head of the Republican Party, Reince Priebus.
Ryan, who has had a rocky relationship with Trump, says women are to be championed and revered. He adds that he hopes Trump will treat the fallout with the seriousness it deserves.
