Donald Trump kicked TV’s most influential Latino newsman out of a press conference

Donald Trump, derider of Mexican illegal immigrants, insulter of POWs and GOP front-runner, kicked journalist Jorge Ramos out of a press conference Tuesday evening.

The billionaire later allowed Ramos back into the press conference, where the two engaged in several lengthy exchanges that dominated the remainder of the event. But none of those exchanges provided the moment that will be repeated in endless loops on cable TV, shared on social media and discussed in Hispanic TV-watching households across the country.

The lasting image will be that of Ramos -- who serves as Univision's lead anchor and is effectively one of the (if not the) most powerful newsmen on Spanish-language TV -- being hustled out of the room after trying to ask Trump a question. Ramos, whose nightly newscast has been known to post ratings that top those of all three major English-language network news programs, has a history of holding presidential candidates very close to fire on issues he believes to be of deep concern to Latinos, such as immigration.

WHITE LATINO

There's almost no other kind.

Go to Spain. One of the whitest countries in Europe now, since they have fewer Muslim immigrants then Germany, France and England.

And it's a diverse group: blondes, brunettes and redheads (quite a few of that), with eye colors all over the map - blue, green, hazel, and of course brown.

But it's a far whiter country then, say...the United States.

So, uh...what "race" is a Latino? Let me give you the one word answer: Caucasian.

Just people from a different country, speaking a different language then the Americans.

No biggie. Just facts.

He was. Even when he was finally allowed to ask a question later, he just went on a big long diatribe and wouldn’t allow Trump to get in an answer. It was great when Trump asked him if he’d seen the Nevada poll that had him leading among hispanic voters. Made Ramos stumble a bit with his “yes”.

I watched CNN, which I rarely do, and surprisingly most of the talking heads said that the Univision guy Did not act like a journalist and Trump treated him fairly.

Univision. Doesn’t NBC own them?

What’s Telemundo’s market share?

Are they really focused on the US produced Mexitainment or do they also watch webstreams of regional shows from home?

Funny tweet about this on Twitter:

Patrick Fornari ‏@FornariSense · 12m12 minutes ago Donald Trump showed Jorge Ramos how immigration is going to work. He kicked him out and then let him back in - "Legally."

The headline should read:

Faggy Latino asshole interrupts press conference without being called on, and is thrown out, like a smelly sack of bean burritos by Donald Trump.

There has been a sea-change.

It's just starting, but a rip-tide is not far behind.

Cruz got this same guy to admit to some of his hypocrisy. Meanwhile Trump is so scared of him he had to have him kicked out. He can prevail over him at his own press conference. Shades of Bill Clinton avoiding talking to the press for two years. Can we afford to have this weak and wimpy a man in the presidency? If this Ramos idiot is too strong for Trump, what is he going to do when confronted with Putin or ISIS? Hide in a closet? When the 3:00 AM call come, will he have the phone kicked out of the White House so he doesn't have to deal with it?

This country can't afford to have such a pathetic, weak leader.

You also see how these media presstitutes are paper tigers.

I noticed when he came back in and asked Trump questions when Trump wanted to move on to another reporter Ramos behaved and sat down.

He learned his lesson.

Trump won again.

Ramos should be on Hannity .... he never shuts up and continues to spout, "But I have a right" when he hasn't been given permission to speak ...

We'll see how this plays up but I think it will not be very effective against Trump

Trump COULD have been a little more dynamic in his deliverence

I hope he gets some public speaking training/experience from a good stand up comic ... like Carlin or even Williams

I know ... they're both dead, but they could deliver

Hell ... even Dave Chapelle could help

I agree. Megyn framed it differently though.
