Donald Trump wants to disqualify a judge purely because of his ethnicity [New "racist!" meme]
vox ^ | 6/2/16 | Dara Lind

Posted on 06/02/2016 6:47:09 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

After months of underhanded attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge presiding over two class-action suits against Trump University, Donald Trump finally came out and said it: people with "Mexican heritage" can't be trusted to put American values first.

Here's what he told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday:

Mr. Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel had "an absolute conflict" in presiding over the litigation given that he was "of Mexican heritage" and a member of a Latino lawyers’ association. Mr. Trump said the background of the judge, who was born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants, was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S. border. "I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent conflict of interest," Mr. Trump said.

Repeatedly and over months, Trump and his campaign have insinuated that Curiel is hostile toward Trump and everything he represents because he's Hispanic and proud of it. And now, Trump is doing us all the favor of stating it outright.

Trump and his campaign have insinuated that Curiel is hostile toward Trump...because he's Hispanic and proud of it.

Imagine a white judge boasting of his ethnicity. Just imagine. Do you think the media would be asking for him to be removed from the bench?

Donald Trump said no such thing! He said this judge wasn't being fair.

No body’s buying it anymore.

Trump called them dishonest, they’re on defensive and failing.

Then it’s agreed, the outing of intelligence agents will be permitted, but controlled.

The judge, in his zeal to damage Trump, authorized the release of records and then tried to get them back. Trump has won already; the judge has prejudiced the case.

The judiciary and society is full of these leftist racists. Look at them the wrong way in court and you’ll find out what “impartial judges” they are.

"journolist" Dara Lind joins the Hillary Clinton Human Centipede!

Will the other "journolists" give Dara "cuts", or does she have to go to the end of the line?

People whose private information is in those records have a cause of action, in that they had an expectation of privacy for their records. Many, I assume, are not publically known and are not without recourse for having their PII be broadcast to news and others without a care to sensitive information.

1) Leftist reporters have put themselves in a hole with their dishonesty, and they are still digging.
2) These Leftist reporters think they can bring trump down by telling still more lies about him.
3) Insanity is defined as doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.
4) Leftism is a mental disorder
QED

Curiel is a member of the La Raza Lawyers Association.

By definition, the organization is racist, as La Raza IS ‘the race.’

Alternative, truth based headline:

Unprofessional Judge Makes Politically Based Decisions Based On His Own Ethnicity.

From what I have heard which needs to be verified......The Judge unsealed the records BEFORE the trial and then said OOOPS, most need to be resealed (after he let all the info get out in public) that in itself should be grounds for the Judge to be removed! The Judge (per GotNews.Com) has also awarded scholarships to illegals.......The Lawyers for the other side gave tons to the Clintons and the guy Ron Schnackenberg who used to work for Trump, left and started working for Glenn Beck........I see a very bias ‪#‎NeverTrump‬ legal move in play here!

On November 10, 2011, President Obama nominated Curiel to serve as a judge on the United States District Court for the Southern District of California

Yep. It had nothing to do with his Mexican heritage. It had everything to do with his La Raza racial supremacy attitudes.

Why not? (I know he didn’t say this, but . . .) Blacks have been demanding this for a long time.
