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)

If there was a white candidate that belonged or once belonged to a group that supported a white only part of the country, that candidate would have his whole history paraded before all of the media. He would be hounded nonstop until he dropped out of the race in disgrace. But Latinos can belong to these extreme organizations and both the Democrats and the Media and the cowardly establishment Republicans never breath a word of it.

He should have mentioned the judge’s connection to LaRaza but regardless the nation is discovering this best kept secret of Latino virulent racism. One of the best kept secrets of the establishment and big media.

For many years I believed the Warren Commission report—now I am not so sure. The globalists were already in power when JFK was in office and from what we are seeing now they are virtually EVERYWHERE. Our government has not been ours for a long time nor has the media.

Good grief. Trump went up against a bus load of mostly corrupt insider candidates and blew them all off the stage. The MSM and all your experts and polls were all wrong about everything regarding Trump.

And you chime in with the corrupt media telling me Trump is not winning based on what these corrupt media experts and some poll said?

Get real. The more you post, the less I trust you.

Don’t they also advocate for the western US to be considered part of Mexico?

Doubt it.

Perry won re-election in 2006 with just a plurality and won in 2010 only because the opposition was abysmal.

He tends to play better outside Texas than within.

More like every poll: General Election: Trump vs. Clinton

I really don't care if you trust me or not. All I ask is you take off the blinders and face reality.

Take the challenge I've already made to others: go to a street corner and ask 10 random people about the dispute between Trump and the judge. I'd be surprised if a single person said anything more than "Trump thinks the judge is biased because he's Mexican". And if you did find one of the few people that knows differently, they were already voting for Trump.

This is reality. You don't have to like it. I don't. But, we can't change it.

Trump can. But, he has to stop making these unforced errors in front of the media.

All Trump needs to do is shift his criticism to La Raza this weekend.

The MSM will ignore it at their own peril.

You got Judge Curiel all wrong, sure he's a member of laRaza, but it's a DIFFERENT laRaza, the laRaza Lawyers of Calif, they're GOOD laRaza's, not the same as the NAT'L COUNCIL of laRaza, according to this article from Red State(CONSIDER THE SOURCE!) What's in a name? Kinda like the mafia denying there's a mafia.

I don't think "La Raza Lawyers of San Diego" does.

You are most likely thinking of "MEChA": Philosophy of MEChA

The media will report what they want to report. They always have, it doesn’t matter what Trump says.

But it will get out there - he’s a master at that.

Especially now that the Hispanic Bar Association relationship and bias has been proven.

Once again, Trump says something, people over- react, then he is proven right.

It’s almost as if he sets it up.

This is true, but according to the La Raza Lawyer's of San Diego website, they are all part of the same "community".

Reuters published an article about this yesterday, but didn't bother to investigate the linkage:

Which ‘La Raza’? Trump comments cause confusion over group's role

You suggest I stand on some street corner and ask people? Good grief. I just asked myself why I’m wasting time having an exchange with you.

See ya!

...well, well, well. Proof Cruz was always part of the establishment. (Like we couldn’t tell 4 months ago.)

Thank you for posting the youtube video. The time for calling globalism a conspiracy theory is rapidly disappearing. For many years we heard that the United Nations was part of a plot to institute a world government but many called this a conspiracy theory. It was also said that the world was going to be divided into ten states with a supranational government with authority over national governments and it is no longer a theory, it is now a fact in the European Union which is exactly as predicted a supranational government over the nations’ governments. Our government is a puppet government of the New World Order.

Treehouse is almost impossible to open for me. I wonder why that is? I could go out for dinner and come back, and it would still be buffering, or whatever.

Every time the media/political complex pulls one of its cheap tricks the American people become wise to them and they learn not to trust them EVER!
