In his latest showdown, Donald Trump ordered Univision anchor Jorge Ramos out of a news conference Tuesday, telling him to “go back to Univision.”
Ramos, who like Trump is known for his confrontational style, didn’t back down until he was escorted out of the room by security. Eventually, Ramos was invited back, where he sparred with Trump over the Republican candidate’s immigration proposals.
Trump has had some high-profile tiffs with media figures recently, battling publicly with Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly, and on Tuesday with the network’s chairman, Roger Ailes.
But prodding Ramos, who has been called the Spanish-language Walter Cronkite, could prove dangerous for Trump, who thus far been something of a Teflon candidate. Here’s why:
Ramos is a very important figure for American Latinos
The 57-year-old has anchored “Noticiero Univision,” Spanish-language TV’s No.1-ranked newscast, for nearly three decades and is considered a trusted source of news. A 2010 study by the Pew Hispanic Center found that among Latinos, Ramos was the second-most recognized Latino leader behind Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and other polls have shown he is one of the most trusted public figures among Latinos.
"Spanish-language news has almost the same pull as the priest in the pulpit," Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles), told the Los Angeles Times in 2013. "And Jorge Ramos is the pope, he's the big kahuna."
Ramos has a lot of followers: According to Nielsen ratings, more than 2 million viewers tune in to “Noticiero Univision” nightly. For perspective, in 2013, that was three times the audience of CNN’s “The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer.”(continued)

Jorge Ramos is a thoroughly repellent figure. He is a racist, anti-U.S. hater. He is worth $215 million, and has vast properties and businesses in Mexico. He also holds dual citizenship—which is ILLEGAL. He illegally votes in both the U.S. and Mexico.
He is, being a Mexican, a cradle Catholic—who supports Partial-Birth Abortion, gay marriage, etc., etc., etc.
And a fight with this mousy Marxist weasel is supposed to hurt Trump?
Watch Tom Woods’s video, “Interview with a Zombie.” Then watch Jorge Ramos interviewing Ted Cruz. It’s almost the same video.

I say he is the Spanish-language Dan Rather.
But I'm still glad he threw the bum out!

LOL! The Slimes.
They can't help themselves and keep manufacturing "hopeful scandals" because they have nothing of substance to use against him. Notice how clean he seems to be where they have zero really juicy stuff to use against him? he's a bout as squeaky clean as it gets in the political arena - not even a "Herman Cain" scandal to use.
How about it Nicky - what should they try to use next?
Hmmm....
Walter Cronkite was a dishonest, anti-American Communist with an over-inflated ego.
Whore-Hay "Cabron" Raaaahmos is ...
THIS jorge ramos is nothing and Trump did well in throwing him out and did even better in letting him back in after sending a young pretty polite senorita American to cut off his balls and make him agree to act civilized and wait his FUKNTURN!
mAGyn Kelly had the opportunity to crush Ramos on her show and instead was very polite with this dirtbag. She could have stated that his daughter was WORKING ON THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN. HELLO.
Kelly better decide if she is for making America Great or for making Trump look bad. Its either one or the other....and I am a fan of Kelly and Trump.....but Trump is the one who will make America Great. Kelly needs to start fighting for Trump instead of trying to fairANDbalance it.
Maybe it was Hor-gay Ramos who picked wrong.
“a representative of Roman Catholic Woman Priests”
The LA Slimes would have Trump act like Bernie Sanders. . .just stand there and take a beating.
Yeah. . .right. . .
The problem with Mr. Ramos is that he is a self-confessed liar/traitor. Proof? He claims to have voted in both Mexico and the United States, using his dual citizenship. The problem with that is he is breaking US law and violating his Oath of Allegiance that he took to gain citizenship in 2008. Here is the Oath.
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”
