Right, his comments about Megan Kelly being on her period wasn't degrading to women. And what did he say about Ted Cruz's wife again?

So Trump saying that Mexican American's aren't fit to be judges isn't prejudiced towards Mexicans? That is text book racism!
I don't like Trump anymore than many here, but you are taking something he said totally out of context. He never said Mexican Americans were not fit to be judges; he felt the judge hearing his case should be removed. I do not agree with him, but you are not gaining support for your over the top liberal views by making comments like that.

Trump has been his own worst enemy at times because he'll say something and not explain himself , and then the MSM put their own spin on it . The Mexican-American judge he complained about is a perfect example . That judge is s member of a radical Hispanic group , " La Raza" . They promote giving several states back to Mexico . Radicals for a fact . A federal judge should not belong to organizations like that . Same thing if a white judge was the KKK Grand Wizard. But the MSM never once mentioned the La Raza angle . All they did was pound & pound & pound that Trump was anti-Mexican American. Nothing close to the truth was ever mentioned by the MSM. Trump left himself open and got hosed big time .

The media never mentioned the La Raza angle because it is not true. It is just BS spread by right wing cesspools like Infowars. The judge is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, a professional group for Latino lawyers. That is not even in the same ballpark as the National Council of La Raza, the group that pushes for immigration reform.


"It’s time to drop this false accusation that Curiel is a member of a “radical” group that advocates for immigrant rights, or for legalization of undocumented immigrants. Trump’s supporters continue to mischaracterize this group as either the same, or comparable, to a Hispanic civil rights group.
Yet Curiel is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, which is a professional organization for Latino lawyers. There’s no evidence the organization is advocating for giving law scholarships to undocumented immigrants. And the new attack that the group lists the National Council of La Raza as a member of its “community” on its website is just a red herring that says nothing substantive about the lawyers group’s activities or merits as a professional organization.
Four Pinocchios"

Default Of course Trump is a racist

If you watch all your TV news on major networks, CBS,NBC, ABC you will see Trump in all his racist glory.

Of course if you're tuned in to TV for DUMMIES Fox News you will never see any racism from Trump.

Funny how it work that way.

How about posting some evidence to your claim instead of name calling.

It's funny how Dumbycrats like to call everyone racists, just because.

However, Curiel, as part of his La Raza Lawyers group, has given scholarships to illegal aliens, which is aiding and abetting illegal behavior. As a judge, he should know better. He needs to step down as a judge or at least recuse himself from Trump's case.

^^^^So true.

In Trump's case, they deliberately either take something out of context or they twist his words.

For example, Trump said that some Mexican illegals were rapists and murderers. He also added that many weren't like that. The anti-Trumps twisted it to say that Trump said all Mexicans were rapists and murderers. Some even twisted to say that Trump was also saying that about Mexican-Americans. Reasonably intelligent people can see through this dribble.

Then Trump said that we need to have a moratorium on Muslim immigration until a way can be found to better vet them. The anti-Trumps twisted this to say that Trump wants to permanently ban Muslims. Some even twisted it to say that Trump wants to deport all Muslims. Again, reasonably intelligent people know that we have let in many Muslims who have gone on to kill innocent people. For example, the woman shooter in San Bernardino gave a fake address on her application and no one checked her postings on social media. This info about her was only discovered after she and her husband killed many of his co-workers.

Did you bother to read the Washington Post article that I linked? They address this false line of attack too.




https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...migrant-group/


"As for the scholarship, one of the recipients of a 2014 scholarship from the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association Scholarship Fund was a part-time law student who identified himself as undocumented — after he received the award. The student received a $1,500 scholarship and wrote in his bio that he emigrated to America at age 11, and that he “wishes to someday tell any student struggling with higher education, ‘Look, a boy from Oaxaca, who did not know English and is undocumented has now graduated from law school and is an attorney.’” Curiel was one of 10 people on the scholarship selection committee."


"There’s no evidence the organization is advocating for giving law scholarships to undocumented immigrants."
