Speaker Paul D. Ryan took his second rare divergence into the presidential race Tuesday by commenting on Donald Trump’s refusal to denounce the Ku Klux Klan, although he did not refer to the presidential front-runner by name. Ryan said that if “a person” wants to be the Republican nominee, then “they must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry.”
