Donald Trump urged his supporters during a Monday conference call to defend his controversial accusation that a federal judge is unfit to rule in a Trump University fraud case because of his Hispanic heritage, Bloomberg reported.
Trump was defiant, despite the rash of criticism he's faced from Republicans and Democrats alike, according to a description of the call to Bloomberg by two supporters who participated.
"We will overcome," Trump said. "And Ive always won and Im going to continue to win. And thats the way it is."
He went on to declare that his surrogates should specifically target journalists who are bringing up the issue.
"The people asking the questions those are the racists," Trump added. "I would go at 'em."
When former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Trump supporter, told the presumptive GOP presidential nominee that the campaign's surrogate handler specifically emailed about steering clear of the controversy, Trump bristled.
"Take that order and throw it the hell out," he said, repeatedly demanding to know who sent the memo, Bloomberg reported. When told the memo was sent by Erica Freeman, a staffer who sends information to surrogates, Trump said he didn't know her, Bloomberg reported.
"Are there any other stupid letters that were sent to you folks? That's one of the reasons I want to have this call, because you guys are getting sometimes stupid information from people that aren't so smart."
Trump has repeatedly questioned Judge Gonzalo Curiel, arguing that his Mexican heritage makes him biased in the case because of Trump's plan to build a border fence along the Mexican border.
Instead of walking that back, he doubled down over the weekend, floating the prospect that a Muslim judge might be similarly biased against him and unfit to preside in a case he's involved in.

“Original Judge
District Judge: Hon. Cathy Ann Bencivengo
Magistrate Judge: Hon. William V. Gallo”
Now that is interesting.
But...but...but, don't you know he no longer belongs to the "real" La Raza, because he couldn't maintain membership and still take the position...? That seems to be the meme of some of the MSM that so wants us to trust them.
They focus on a word or two and totally ignore the real issue and concern that Trump and his lawyers have - I'm really surprised and disappointed in Newt for not discussing with Trump before he went out there.
You don’t have to be from Mexico to be of Mexican heritage.
I asked why he objected to the judge in this case, since the news reports only gave “Hispanic” as a reason....
To be fair, in today’s racially charged anti-white climate and America’s glut of SJW Judges, that’s good enough .
really? oh well.
Yes.
And as the cherry on top the judge is a member of La Raza.
Oh well? Think that does not matter?
maybe, maybe not.
It seems that court decisions are not always consistent.
Not ONE of them has probably ever practiced law. Even if they went to law school.
There’s a well known activity among actual, practicing attorneys called “JUDGE SHOPPING.” Attorneys who operate in the courts, especially federal courts, SHOP to find a judge who they perceived as ‘friendly’ to their cause. Well, what is ‘friendly’ to their cause, if not bias?
How is it we know most SCOTUS decisions will have Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan voting one way, while (May he rest in peace) Scalia, Alioto and Thomas are consistently on the other side. Roberts and Kennedy line up more often with the latter, but not always. As we well know.
Judges have bias. I’d guarantee that in his District, attorneys representing Hispanic clients seek out “friendly” Judge Curiel. So why shouldn’t someone like Trump look for another judge, and bring out J. Curiel’s bias?
These politicians who are wringing their hands are simultaneously displaying their ignorance. And/or trying to pander to that particular minority. Bunch of phonies.
The pressure on the San Jose police re their allowing LaRaza thugs to terrorize and act Trump supporters has resulted in the arrest of 4 of the thugs.
