After Hillary Clinton made Donald Trump look ridiculous yesterday afternoon, I largely expected the presumptive Republican nominee to launch a new offensive against his likely Democratic opponent. Curiel has a brother who still lives in Hammond, Indiana.

“I think that’s why he’s doing it”, Trump said. He said the family was “worried about it at the time that we heard about the death threats”.
“My brother is very objective. He ‘didn’t have sex with that woman, ‘” Trump said.
“There is no conflict, whatsoever, based on his ethnicity”, Kelly said. Trump said in San Jose. Trump’s lawyers aren’t seeking to have Curiel removed, nor have they registered any complaints about conflicts of interest.
Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, sits as a Senior U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Trump continued to insist that the only reason the case against Trump U hasn’t been dismissed is because of the judge’s Mexican heritage. “He’s proud of his heritage. I am livid about it, and if this is his strategy to win over Hispanics, he’s got a hell of a wake-up call coming to him come November”. “He is a very hostile judge to me”. “You can criticize the judicial system, you can criticize individual cases, you can criticize individual judges. I have thousands of people saying Trump University is fantastic, OK?” This is a case that should have ended. “The answer is he is giving us very unfair rulings – rulings that people can’t even believe”, he said. “I hope it’s not”, Ryan told a Milwaukee radio station. He’s a Mexican. We’re building a wall between here and Mexico.
Kelly said she had planned on talking about House Speaker Paul Ryan’s endorsement of Trump on her show until the news broke that “Trump continues to attack a… sitting federal judge, who, by the way, did a lot to fight the judge cartels when he was a prosecutor”.
Anti-Trump protesters pelted his supporters with eggs and water balloons, snatched their “Make America Great Again” hats, and burned them.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, Rep. Alex Mooney, Rep. Evan Jenkins and state Senate President Bill Cole, the Republican nominee for governor, have all endorsed Trump for president.
Under federal law, a judge must avoid hearing a case “in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned”. At the time, Wallace called Johnson an “integratin’, carpetbaggin’, scalawaggin’, baldfaced liar”. If Donald Trump is going to say or do something stupid, then Kelly is going to report on it with reasonable truth, and tremendous force, you might add.
“This is of a whole different league”, Wheeler said.
“I don’t agree with what he had to say”, McConnell said of Trump.

“Does that mean that Clarence Thomas needs to recuse himself from any cases that involve affirmative action?”
