Donald Trump Finally Found Someone to Defend Him Over Attacks on Judge
This shows the hard path ahead for Walker and House Speaker Paul Ryan, who, on Tuesday, June 7th, called Trump’s comments “textbook racism” – yet both men have endorsed Trump.
The idea laid out by Trump was turning the convention on its head, and instead of having a long line of politicians speak, he prefers luminaries from sports who are supporting him.
He’s “ready to go”, the source said, adding Obama would “explode onto the scene” once the Democratic race is wrapped up. “We’re going to bring our nation together”.
Governor Scott Walker has slammed Donald Trump for comments against a federal judge, but he isn’t taking back his endorsement of Trump – at least not yet.
Trump provoked a backlash from Republicans when he said that federal judge Gonzalo Curiel had an inherent conflict of interest in presiding over a case against Trump University because of his Mexican heritage.
Donald Trump issued a statement on his website Tuesday, saying his comments had been misconstrued.
In March, Trump told the New York Times, “Tom Brady is a great friend of mine”. He made no mention of his attacks against the judge in his prepared post-primary speech later that night. “Sen. Mark Kirk unendorsed him. Sen”. It was a day of self-savaging of the Republican nominee, I’ve never seen anything like it. But in the end, he said, what happens in Cleveland is up to Trump.
“Another week on the 2016 campaign trail means another week of incredibly offensive and downright racist remarks from the Republican Party’s nominee for president”, the email obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation said.
Some Republican figures have taken more extreme stances, including defending the comments, and, in one case, leaving the Republican party.
The Republican National Convention is rapidly approaching. On “Meet the Press”, McConnell said he disagreed with Trump’s comments but favored party unity behind Trump.
Ryan and McConnell, for their part, have publicly criticized Trump for targeting Curiel – though both have also maintained they will support Trump despite the blowback. “It would be better if he had done so five weeks ago”.
“The entire point of Donald Trump is to not be on script”, observed co-anchor of MSNBC’s Morning Joe Willie Geist. “Trump was just concerned that this judge is a member of La Raza, which is an organization that his sympathetic toward illegal immigrants, including those who commit crimes”.
