Former 2016 presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker issued a sharp condemnation of Donald Trump’s criticism of a federal judge on Wednesday – even threatening to withhold his support from the presumptive GOP nominee.
“Donald Trump and his Trump University are now facing a lawsuit (accused of) defrauding students, and Trump chose to respond by attacking the federal judge presiding over the case based exclusively on the fact that the Indiana-born judge’s parents are Mexican immigrants”, Samantha Pstross said at a news conference at the state Capitol.
U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan has described as “racist” the remarks by Trump about Curiel, while South Carolina Sen.
Trump says his comments have been “misconstrued” by the media, but that he does feel he’s been treated unfairly in the case.
“I’m thinking about getting some of the great sports people I know, who like me a lot”, Trump told rally attendees. “And that is just one of the many reasons why he will never be President of the United States”.
Trump also said the night could include others, including Brian France, the owner of NASCAR, who backed Trump in February. “I get so many interviews, if I want them”, he said. “And that’s what Mitch McConnell wants”. “Ashamed for using the megaphone of a Presidential campaign to attack a judge’s character and integrity simply because you think you have some God-given right to steal people’s money and get away with it”.
“Trump’s repeated accusations of Judge Curiel display an utter lack of understanding for the role we play as attorneys and judges sworn to follow the law and uphold the constitution”, Osuna said.

Mnuchin did not disclose the amount of money that the campaign has raised so far but said, “You have to understand we literally just started this in the last four weeks”. “Americans need to see more vision and less trash talk”. “Exactly the kind of candidate you’d expect from a Republican Party whose “script” for several years has been to execute a full-scale assault on the integrity of our courts”, she is expected to say. “Like tens of millions of Americans, I will not vote for Hillary Clinton and desire to vote for a bold, conservative leader”.
