Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan on Friday responded to Clint Eastwood's baffling speech at the GOP convention, saying the the actor and filmmaker's address was not a distraction.

Following a campaign rally in Richmond, Va., Ryan told a local television station, “I think Clint Eastwood was just being Clint Eastwood ... One of the most profound things that Clint said was that 23 million people are out of work, struggling to find jobs. It’s unacceptable."
