Before you believe the Right Wing crap, Paul Ryan is not refusing to raise money for Trump. Sadly, we have to read the truth in a Left Wing rag.

Politico reported:
Ryan (R-Wis.) is crafting an election-year campaign schedule focused on maintaining majorities in the House and Senate – a weighty task, with control of Congress in the balance. Any other request — raising money for Trump or helping him turn out the vote — will be considered on a case-by-case basis, an aide in Ryan’s political operation said.
“Speaker Ryan is focusing on supporting House and Senate Republicans,” the aide said.
“The [Republican National Committee] has not asked him to participate in any fundraisers to date but should they ask, we will give those requests due consideration.”
It’s significant, because Ryan has emerged as one of the most prolific fundraisers in the Republican Party. Ryan’s political operation — dubbed Team Ryan — raised $17 million in the first quarter of 2016. He has raised more than $30 million for the Republican Party since October, and has transferred more than $21 million to the National Republican Congressional Committee this cycle.
As of the end of the first quarter, Team Ryan had $3.2 million on hand, and Ryan for Congress — the speaker’s reelection account — had $7.6 million in the bank.
