Moments earlier, Warren called Trump a “fraud” and “thin-skinned, racist bully”.

Warren has considered the idea of serving as Clinton’s running mate although she sees obstacles to that choice, sources said. “I do not feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial”, Trump said, “but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial”.
Even conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer agreed, saying, “He’s revealing who he is”. Of Republicans, said Krauthammer, “They have to ask themselves, morally, is this the man you want to be the leader of your party?”
Trump issued a statement Tuesday saying his comments about Curiel were “misconstrued” and he no longer intends to talk about him or the lawsuits against Trump University that the judge is overseeing.

Trump has regularly turned racial “dog whistles” into bullhorns. Carson said. “Now, does that mean I agree with everything Donald Trump does?”
