Cruz to NBC: Trump 'Inappropriate to Attack a Judge's Race or Ethnicity'
NBC News ^ | Jun 6 2016, 5:06 pm ET | NBC News

Posted on 06/06/2016 2:35:52 PM PDT by conservative98

Here's an interesting exchange between NBC News and former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz that happened just now:

NBC: Donald Trump's remarks about Judge Curiel, are his concerns legitimate?

Cruz: Of course it's inappropriate to be attacking a federal judge's race or ethnicity. You're going to have ask Donald to explain the reason he says the things he does. I'm not going to try to do so.

NBC: Ben Sasse said that what Donald Trump said about the judge is pure definition of racism. Is Donald Trump a racist?

Cruz: As I said, it is obviously inappropriate to attack a judge's race or ethnicity. Beyond that, you're going to have to ask Donald.

NBC: (As Cruz walks away): Last question — Senator, can you fathom though still at this point supporting Donald Trump in November?

(No response -- goes into office)

Trump is staying strong on the biased judge!

Oh of course not. It’s so predictable.

Of course, NBC won’t run anything that actually criticizes their beloved fifth-column insurgents anyways.

The above statement says absolutely nothing, other than "Mexican heritage". Being "a member of a Latino lawyers' association" is a completely meaningless claim that offers no additional information (and just repeats: "Mexican heritage"), unless the conflicting positions and affiliations of that organization are clearly explained.

You are getting too desperate to defend your weak position. I suggest you take a deep breath and pretend you never made these posts.

It is amazing to watch all of this media driven dust up about the judge and Trump.

The GOP happily participated in a left wing media supported circular firing squad, as they always do.

Even the supposed great legal mind of Ted Cruz could drill down to the essence of Trump's statements.

All this pearl-clutching!

This was the lead story for FoxNews tonight!

Ask yourselves:what are we NOT talking about today? What is the GOP NOT focusing their anger on today?

The answer: that a La Raza connected mayor and police Chief of San Jose, CA conspired to not protect Trump supporters at a Trump rally event.

McConnell, Ryan, Gingrich, Flake, Cruz,Kasich and all the other GOP toadies can all get lost.

We're following Trump!

We can’t imply that Curiel may be prejudiced against Trump because of his connections to La Raza and that he is first generation Mexican. So tell me again why we should be concerned about who should be on the Suprreme Court? Or why did Sotomajor make a point of being a “wise Latina?” Our judicial system is highly politicized, which is why both parties make the point quite publicly that the ability to appoint judges to the courts at all levels is crucial to furthering their agenda. Again, Trump has not been PC, stating some obvious facts about our judicial system. It is the reason why DOJ will not prosecute Hillary even if the FBI makes a recommendation to do so. And then there is this: Judge in Trump University case changes order to unseal docs

The judge in a class action lawsuit against Trump University on Wednesday ordered some records that have been released to be yanked from public view.

U.S. District Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel late Tuesday ordered some released documents to be resealed and resubmitted with sections blacked-out. He said some records had "mistakenly" been released Friday, when he ordered some documents made public.

But now, Trump is on the defensive.

Only among the RINOS, MSM, and assorted leftists.

In reality he may be inoculating himself against whatever "October surprise" comes out of the Trump University litigation and the machinations of the liberal elites.
