Speaker Paul Ryan criticized President Donald Trump on Thursday for a crude attack on MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski’s physical appearance.

“I don’t see that as an appropriate comment,” Ryan said at a press conference, less than three hours after Trump ridiculed “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” for “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”

Ryan’s remarks were his latest rebuke of the president, though he quickly moved on from the subject.

Ryan occasionally chided Trump for offensive comments during the presidential campaign, including his racially charged attack on an American-born federal judge of Mexican descent. But so far this year he’s largely kept his criticisms muted and shrugged of Trump’s incendiary tweets.

Republicans condemn Trump for crude tweets about ‘Morning Joe’ host

'Your tweet was beneath the office,’ Lindsey Graham said about Trump’s message about a bleeding face-lift.

Republican lawmakers on Thursday swiftly rebuked President Donald Trump for crudely claiming that “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift,” saying such tweets are beneath the office of the president.

In a two-part tweet, Trump said he “heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore).” He then went on to hit Brzezinski: “how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came … to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!”

The messages, some of the most graphic and personal since Trump became president, were condemned by Republicans who are struggling to push Trump’s legislative agenda forward while the White House is consumed by the Russia probes and self-inflicted dramas.

“Obviously, I don’t see that as an appropriate comment,” House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Thursday during his weekly press conference, adding, “Look, what we’re trying to do around here is improve the tone, the civility of the debate, and this obviously doesn’t help do that.”

1. So he finally found a line to draw in the sand.

[Vinca]

2. Yep. Unfortunately the line is made of waffles and will be washed away at high tide.

[WhiteTara]

8. Yep. Especially since they are passing another nasty bill

this time about immigration.

[MurrayDelph]

12. Paul Ryan. Another

pillar of Jell-O in the Republican party.

[FakeNoose]

3. Ryan has called out Trump before

Just this month he criticized him for asking Comey for "loyalty", and said it was inappropriate.

I don't think Trump or Ryan think very highly of one another. Trump has tweeted stuff about Ryan several times. It wasn't really news though, just twitter-shit that I wish everyone would just ignore.

[Doug the Dem]

4. Inappropriate?

No: fuckin' scummy!

[LakeArenal]

5. Dear Paul Ryan,

THIS is your example of dump's inappropriateness? Wow. Just wow..

[lark]

6. STUFU Ryan.

Quit trying to seem like a normal person, we know you are not. We know for sure that you are a totally heartless deviant who doesn't give a shit about women to the point that you think men have the right to go to the woman he raped house and has rights to the child. You are a lying asshole who cares nothing about nobody except himself and the people that make him rich and think no one else has a right to even live. You only care about fetuses and once born the child can just die if they are gravely sick or injured.

7. Ryan's only doing the PR minimum

...probably because he was predicted to ignore it, which he most surely would have done otherwise.

[yellowcanine]

9. Ooh, that will leave a mark........NOT

How brave of you Paulie.

[hibbing]

10. But kicking 20+ million off insurance is appropriate n/t

[GusBob]

11. He really puts the milk in milk toast don't he?

[Rainngirl]

13. THIS is where he draws the line???

There have been so many opportunities to speak up, yet THIS is the one he calls appropriate? Ryan is a completely worthless human being.

[AgadorSparticus]

14. I call bullshit on this POS. Ann Navarro is right and I am sick of these

Assholes using calculated diction to underspin the horrific reality that we are all living. Call a spade a spade. He is a maniacal narcissist who has become completely unhinged. His tweets are disgusting and nasty as he is and not worthy of being a human being much less POTUS.

Ann Navarro went off on this and just nailed it.
