Trump ‘disappointed’ by Republican criticism of judge comments
Johnson, 65, says he is unsure whether he will caucus with Republicans in the Iowa Senate for the 2017 legislative session. “We are here to help Latino law students and lawyers”.
A phone call between the two was first reported by ABC News and comes amid a firestorm of backlash after Trump criticized the federal judge overseeing the Trump University lawsuit, Gonzalo Curiel, on the basis of his Mexican heritage.
Curiel was born in IN, the son of Mexican immigrants. “And I hope that it gets there”. And that’s fine. It’s all fine.
Both Clinton and Trump have work to do to unite their parties behind them but the Democrat appeared to face the easier path with Sanders, a leftist US senator from Vermont, almost out of options to challenge her. Its members are “Latino, non-Latino, Mexican, non-Mexican, Caucasian”, Osuna said. “We are not associated with them; we are not an affiliate of them”.
O’Reilly, June 6: OK. “I had just won more votes than anyone in the history of the party, so I was a little bit surprised when they said that”, Trump said. You are a big guy. Susan Collins says she’s open to voting for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over Republican frontrunner Donald Trump – but admits it’s unlikely. I want to talk about how lousy the economy is.
Trump has since said his comments were “misconstrued”.
Trump, Feb. 27: There is a hostility to me from the judge, tremendous hostility, beyond belief.
“I don’t know what’s in his heart”. He is Hispanic, which is fine. “We face a dismal future if we are led to believe that judges who do not look like us can not be impartial”.
The next day, in an interview with “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace, Trump suggested that Curiel “has been extremely hostile” to him because of Trump’s position on border security. “I think that should be absolutely disavowed”.
“I felt it was an important time somehow, so I thought I wanted to give a very detailed oriented speech”, Trump said. And he has been extremely hostile to me.
But it’s the kind of message he hasn’t heard from Trump’s campaign yet, he confessed.
Still, he said, “Trump is testing that sort of loyalty” from many in the GOP.
Senator Mark Kirk of IL, one of the most vulnerable GOP incumbents of the cycle, this week became the first GOP lawmaker to actively retract his endorsement of Donald Trump, over his racist attacks on a Mexican-American judge. He added, however, that he still feels “justified” in questioning whether he’s receiving “fair treatment” from Curiel.
On Wednesday, Walker reiterated his stance, and told reporters that Trump needed to be “called out” for saying Curiel could not handle a case on Trump University because of his Mexican heritage.
