RYAN: "I think the Roy Moore -- I don't know if -- I'm focused on Congress. Roy Moore is trying to come to Congress. My job here as Speaker of the House is to help make sure that Congress is an institution that we're proud of, and that's what I'm focused on. He's running for Congress, and I think the allegations against him were very, very credible."
INSKEEP: "Is there a difference between those two cases?"
