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.

Are you still concerned that Donald Trump is a racist?
> To be clear....its a past affiliation.
How far in the past?
If you don’t know just say so and move on.
Curiel’s membership is at least as recent as September 2014.

You clearly have much more faith in the voters than I do. You HAVE to spoon-feed people, are you kidding me? They’re not going to take the time to figure this out. At least that’s what I’ve found based on my own interactions. Maybe your experience is different. I hope I’m wrong...
Is that Cadet Trump...before his injury?
The judge wasn’t criticized for his affiliation with the association. He was criticized for his ethnicity.
Do always believe whatever the presstitutes tell you?

In fact Curiel is a member of La Raza. Here he is on the scholarship selection committee that awarded illegal immigrants scholarships.
GotNews.com was first to report how Judge Gonzalo Curiel funded the education of illegal immigrants.
The controversial judge is presiding over the Trump University legal matter.
The judge has repeatedly called himself Mexican publicly and privately and in his own Senate confirmation hearing.
Kelly also freaked out at those of us doing the job she wont do.
[Curiel] has no conflict of interest, Bill, she said. Now Donald Trump is saying the judge needs to be investigated, someone should look into him just because hes ruled against Donald Trump in his litigation repeatedly. That doesnt make you biased. It just doesnt.
Our spies in Fox News tell us that Kelly really has it in for Donald Trump and that she has been privately and publicly scheming to take him down.
I'm talking about how I interpret what Trump is doing. And so far, he's doing pretty good I'd say. Maybe all the other politicians go for the spoon feeders and he's not. We'll see who there's more of.
Flush out the weak ones, that is what Trump is doing. End of day, left with racial attacks a gained Trump and whites, while he is simply asking for fairness.
Does this judge have any affiliations that are not race or ethnic based?!
I know, others say yes. However the 14th Amendment reads "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside. If the parents illegal, they are subject to a foreign jurisdiction, the children are not American Citizens.
The matter is up for contention as it has not gone to the Supreme Court. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, also known as the Snyder Act, has been interpreted to be about American Indians and their citizenship. But if the American Indians were born here and sic. citizens, there would be no need for such a law.Similarly, the children of Illegal Immigrants are not citizens. So perhaps the Judge should disqualify himself.
IMHO the Judge's declaring himself a "Hispanic" Race in his records as seen on the Internet makes no sense. Sic it is a Divisive Democrat term to link all people who are born in a Spanish speaking heritage into a "Political" block. Divide and conquer. The Hispanics are being separated from their Caucasian, Black, Amer-Indian and mixed heritage (or national heritage) in order to herd them onto the Democrat Plantation.
The guy is La Raza.
Trump better not blow it over something that is not even relevant.
Trump University has nothing to do with the election, the country or the Presidency.
