House Speaker Paul Ryan said Monday President Trump “needed to do better” with his response to the protests in Charlottesville a little more than a week ago, particularly saying he “messed up” in his press conference last Tuesday when he said all of the protesters were not bad people.

“The president and I spoke on Monday morning about the need for moral clarity, about the need for this very difficult moment in our country to have a morally clear message, to absolutely and singularly condemn this repulsive bigotry. He agreed with that and he did that later that day on Monday, and I thought his speech on Monday was pitch perfect,” Ryan said, referring to Trump’s comments on Monday in the wake of his initial comments where he said “many sides” were to blame for the incident.
