"Look, I really believe he has to clean up the way his (social) media works," Ryan said
"Anti-Semitic images ... have no place in a presidential campaign," Ryan said
Washington (CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday that anti-Semitic images "have no place in a presidential campaign," several days after Donald Trump ignited a controversy with a tweet featuring a six-sided star and a pile of money in an attack on Hillary Clinton.
The Wisconsin Republican was critical of how the real estate mogul and his social media staff use Twitter.
"Look, I really believe he has to clean up the way his (social) media works," Ryan said on the Charlie Sykes radio program. "They've got to clean this thing up."
The presumptive Republican nominee set off his latest social media firestorm this past weekend when he tweeted the graphic critical of Clinton.
Critics said the graphic evoked anti-Semitic imagery. The Trump campaign refused to answer questions about the tweet even as reports emerged that the image had been posted to an anti-Semitic, white supremacist message board 10 days earlier.
Trump downplayed the controversy in a tweet Monday morning by slamming the "dishonest media."

Paul Ryan says he might sue Donald Trump if he tried to enact the Muslim ban

Paul Ryan considers Donald Trump's proposal to indefinitely ban Muslim immigration into the US to be executive overreach.
And during an interview with The Huffington Post, uploaded on Friday, the House speaker said he'd "sue any president that exceeds his or her powers."
Ryan, who said Trump supported the separation of powers when the speaker endorsed the presumptive Republican nominee, released part of his agenda regarding executive overreach this week.
However, Ryan is not totally sure if Trump enacting a ban on Muslims entering the country would be outside of presidential authority.
"That’s a legal question that there’s a good debate about," Ryan said, pointing to the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. That act was meant to exclude immigrants from certain countries from coming to the US in the aftermath of World War II.
On Monday, Trump made the appeal that he could legally enact such a ban as president.
"The immigration laws of the United States give the president powers to suspend entry into the country of any class of persons," he said at a rally. "I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies, until we fully understand how to end these threats."
