Trump rips Paul Ryan over birthright citizenship comments, with days to go before midterms

President Donald Trump on Wednesday ripped Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., a day after Ryan said the president could not eliminate birthright citizenship with an executive order.

"Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about!" the president said. "Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!"

Trump tweet

Ryan is retiring and not seeking reelection. A spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC.
