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.

This clearly was about showing that Trump was the master of his domain. Trump can handle the reporter’s questions. He did later.

This was about Trump showing he wasn’t going to tolerate nonsense from reporters (or BlackLivesMatters) who get up and scream and rant during a press conference.

Ramos is a paper tiger. They all are.

So is Megyn Kelly.

Trump has single handedly destroyed the Fox brand it took 20 years to build.

Trump is simply amazing.

Meanwhile Trump is so scared of him he had to have him kicked out.

Actually, if you had read the article, you would know that that was not true.

Prove to me you know how to read the article and then give me a book report explaining why Trump kicked the guy out and why even CNN said he deserved it.

He is not my first choice, and I have grave reservations about him, but you have to try to be objective or you’re just going to be ignored.

Yes Trump just made a point when he let them eject Ramos. Then he let him back in and did a back and forth for 5 minutes. Nobody else would have done that. And he owned Ramos the whole time. Delicious. :-)

He is guilty of sedition and should have his citizenship revoked. He is not Natural Born and is lucky we are so kind as to have allowed an obvious America hater to not only enter the country, but become a citizen.

Mark Levin played a clip of this 1 hour and 10 mins into his show tonight. He loved it. Levin called Ramos a racialist. Levin said Trump told the security “go!” and got him out after he told him to sit down and he kept talking. Levin was laughing his butt off. He said this is why we love Trump.

I have no intention of waiting.

Consider yourself instantly avoided.

You are hereby banished to the online leper colony.

May you rot in peace.

My English local news stated how “Donald Trump ASSAULTED a Latino News Reporter” ASSAULTED? For crying they made it sound like Donald slapped him over the head with a frying pan.
