House Speaker Ryan says Trump comments about Hispanic judge are 'racist'

U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday disavowed Donald Trump's criticism of a Hispanic judge, saying such remarks were the "textbook definition of a racist comment."

Ryan, speaking at an event to unveil U.S. House Republicans' policy proposals, said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's comments were absolutely unacceptable and indefensible.
