“I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent”. “I do not intend to comment on this matter any further”. Usually, in a “wrong side of history” situation, the people who will end up on the wrong side of history aren’t the ones pointing out how wrong their side is.

Trump has insisted that US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel can not fairly preside over a civil case involving his for-profit real estate school, Trump University, because he is of Mexican heritage and Trump is planning on “building a wall” along the US-Mexico border.
On Tuesday, Republicans were squirming over what might have been the billionaire’s most incendiary stance to date – the claim that Curiel couldn’t preside fairly over the Trump University case because the US-born judge is of Mexican heritage and Trump wants to build a wall between the USA and Mexico.
– Donald Trump ended one of his toughest days of the campaign by doing something he rarely does: reading a prime-time speech from a teleprompter.
Clinton declared herself the Democratic Party nominee on Tuesday evening after winning the New Jersey primary, setting up a general election campaign against Republican candidate Donald Trump in the November 8 election.
“I would love to be able to endorse Donald Trump, but he really has to change the approach that he’s taken”, she told CNN”. So they were basically saying, “Yeah, he’s a racist, but I still think you should vote for him”.
Back before Trump became his party’s presumptive nominee, Kirk said that he would support him if he did ultimately lock up the nomination.
“That’s not where we are in our country”, Corker said of Trump’s Curiel comments.
While he said his “preference always is peace”, he pledged that he would not shrink from a fight.
“Florida Republican Senate candidates’ silence on Trump’s racist remarks condones this damaging and offensive behavior”, Murphy said earlier on Tuesday.
Either way, Collins appears to be withholding her support of Trump indefinitely, even as others in her party – including U.S. Sen.
Trump’s statement said students in the course received “a substantive, valuable education” and more than 10,000 students had filled out surveys giving the course high marks.
Others avoided the word “racist” but made their disapproval clear.
“To say that a judge can not be unbiased because of his ethnicity, or that there’s no way for a Muslim judge to be impartial is taking away the blindness of justice”, she said. He’s out of line.
Curiel, a former narcotics prosecutor who was born in IN, is barred by judicial conduct rules from discussing the matter publicly.
Only his fear of Ms. Clinton picking Supreme Court justices is enough to keep him giving money to Mr. Trump, Mr. Hubbard said.
House Speaker Paul Ryan reiterated his support on Wednesday for Donald Trump at a closed door meeting with House Republicans, and asked his colleagues to unite behind the presumptive Republican nominee, according to several members who attended the session.
The GOP nominee “has not demonstrated the temperament necessary to assume the greatest office in the world”, said Kirk, who faces a tough re-election race back in IL. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who has long opposed the billionaire’s candidacy. “We’ve got what we’ve got”.
Flake later added he doesn’t know any fellow senator “who shares those views with Trump”.
“It’s absolutely unacceptable”, Ryan said.
“No question it would be Hillary because I don’t want Donald Trump as my president”, said Judy Reed.
The comments from Beruff, DeSantis and Lopez-Cantera come as Democrats nationwide have turned up the heat on Republicans to either stand by Trump’s comments or condemn him.

Chabot wrote an open letter to Trump on his blog. “They believe they were lured to the seminar by false promises and the Trump name and that they have been ripped off”.
