From the July 5 edition of 620 WTMJ's The Charlie Sykes Show:
CHARLIE SYKES (HOST): I have to ask you about this, the headline on The Huffington Post right now is, “GOP Leaders Totally Ignored Donald Trump's Anti-Semitic Clinton Tweet." The image, which Trump later took down, showed the Democratic presidential candidate's face next to a Star of David that read, “most corrupt candidate ever.” The Anti-Defamation League denounced the tweet. Clinton called it blatantly anti-Semitic. Your reaction to Donald Trump's use of that image?
SPEAKER PAUL RYAN: Look, anti-Semitic images have no place in a presidential campaign. Candidates should know that. The tweet has been deleted. I don't know what flunky put this up there. They obviously have to fix that. We have to get back to the issues that matter to the public. I was doing the Kenosha parade, the Marine parade, grilling brats with volunteers and families, if I had to stop everything and comment to a ridiculous tweet sent out by this campaign I would have no time for anything else.
SYKES: Yeah, well, this is like the fifth time though that Donald Trump, who you are supporting let me remind you.
RYAN: I know, you have reminded me this.
SYKES: I know. But has tweeted something that at some point does Reince Priebus or somebody else need to get him on the phone and say, “Mr. Trump you have got to stop tweeting these things. These things are no longer accidents.”
RYAN: Yeah, I really believe he needs to clean up the way his new media works. Most importantly, as you know, one of the few times I spoke out against him during the primary very forcefully was in this area. When he failed to disavow supremacists, white supremacists. So look, I think this is really really clear, the point is, I think he needs to clean this up. My understanding this was done by staff not by he himself. More importantly they got to clean this thing up.
