Sarah Palin criticizes Paul Ryan

Sarah Palin, the vice presidential candidate on the Republican Party ticket in 2008, is harshly criticizing House Speaker Paul Ryan for withholding his support from likely Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Palin says Ryan's statement that he isn't ready to embrace Trump "was not a wise decision of his."

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, the former Alaska governor charged that the Wisconsin Republican might have had his own political interests in mind in making the statement about Trump last week in the wake of the real estate mogul's primary victory in Indiana, which led to the withdrawal of his remaining two opponents — Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich.

Palin said "it kind of screws his chances for the 2020 presidential bid that he's gunning for."
