Labrador: Ryan should fire advisers

A Republican lawmaker on Friday evening said he was "disappointed" with Speaker Paul Ryan for withholding his support of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump this week. "I think that the Speaker of the House needs to reconsider what he's doing. I think that he really needs to consider firing some of his advisers," Rep. Raúl Labrador (Idaho) said on CNN's "Situation Room." "He almost kind of slapped him in the face when he said what he did," Labrador added later. Trump has suggested that he was caught off guard when Ryan announced he wasn't ready to back the businessman, who this week become the party's presumptive nominee/The Hill. More here.
