Former New York Gov. George Pataki (R) on Tuesday slammed fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who he said has been "disrespectful" toward Latinos with recent disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants.
"Yes, clearly, they're disrespectful," Pataki told Business Insider of Trump's comments in a brief interview before the annual New York Republican Party's gala.
Trump characterized Mexican immigrants in his campaign launch speech as "rapists" and drug runners when talking about how he'd focus as president on reducing illegal immigration.

George Pataki is a loser. Most people have no clue who he is or that he is running for President. Soon he won’t be. If Trump runs him off early good riddance.
Love the way all these phonies who have wet their pants for eight years when the country has been dragged into the gutter without a peep,now are spewing all this self righteousness.
I don’t know how far Trump will get,but I sure do enjoy listening to him exposing all the political correctness,and calling out all the pathetic phonies! LOVE IT!
