Latino news anchor kicked out of Donald Trump’s press conference

Univision and Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos stood up as soon as Trump took the podium in Dubuque, Iowa and began asking him a question about immigration. “Who’s next? Yeah. Please”. A Trump supporter tells Ramos, “You were very rude. Sit down“.

Univision’s president of news Isaac Lee later said in a statement: “We’d love for Mr Trump to sit down for an in-depth interview with Jorge to talk about the specifics of his proposals”. “Sit down. Sit down!”

After discussing immigration and taking questions from other reporters, Trump returned to Ramos, and their second exchange quickly turned to the $500 million lawsuit Trump filed against Univision, which canceled its contract with the businessman to air the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

Asked by reporters about Ramos’s removal from the event, Trump said he had never met Ramos and that he “just started screaming” and that Ramos was “obviously a very emotional person”.

“No you don’t. You haven’t been called”. That’s when the two men had a long, sometimes tense back-and-forth about Trump’s deportation plans for undocumented aliens and his call for an end to birthright citizenship. But Trump’s first response, rather than answering the questions or simply ignoring him, was to kick Ramos out.

One of Trump’s security details approached Ramos and escorted him outside the conference room. “I’d like to consider myself open minded, I’d like to hear what the other candidates do have to say”, said Todd Peil.

Donald Trump may have just upstaged his own campaign event in Dubuque, Iowa. “She crosses the border for one day, has the baby, all of a sudden for the next 80 years – we have to take care of the child”.

Trump can be blunt and even nasty with journalists who challenge him.

Trump touted about his money and how it would help America.

“I think they cover me terribly”, Trump said when asked about his coverage by Fox News Channel.

The Univision anchor then said to the GOP candidate, “You can not deport 11 million people”. “Do you mind if I send them back to Mexico?”

Trump said he did not believe that a majority of immigrants in the U.S. illegally were criminals, or in the country to commit crimes. Trump’s plan has won him the support of the Republican conservative base, and anger among immigrant advocates, moderates, Democrats and Hispanics.
