'I'm with racist!': Brutal New York Daily News cover mocks Paul Ryan for standing by Donald Trump

The New York Daily News released a cover mocking House Speaker Paul Ryan for standing by his endorsement of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump despite saying recent comments of his represented "the textbook definition of a racist comment."

Ryan later clarified that he thinks the comment is racist rather than the candidate himself, but still, the damage was done.

Here was the Daily News cover:

However, just hours after releasing the cover on Twitter, the New York tabloid nixed it in favor of a front page about Hillary Clinton's successful clinch of the Democratic nomination.
