White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said that President Trump doesn't want House Speaker Paul Ryan to step down, despite tweeting that his followers should check out Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who opened her show Saturday night calling for the speaker's ouster.

Priebus said on Fox News Sunday that the tweet wasn't an inside message from Trump about his thoughts on Ryan, who has faced criticism after a stinging defeat of Obamacare repeal on Friday.

"I think it was more coincidental. There was no pre-planning here," Priebus said.

He later hinted that Trump still wants to get moderate support, despite blaming Democrats for the defeat of the American Health Care Act.

"I think it is more or less a warning shot that we are willing to talk to anyone. It is time for both parties to come together and get to real reforms in this country," Priebus said.
