The White House on Wednesday took a swipe at Donald Trump, suggesting the Republican presidential front-runner cant handle tough questions about his views on immigration.
Press secretary Josh Earnest weighed in on Trumps decision late Tuesday to eject Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos from a press conference. Ramos had interrupted Trump with a question about deportations.
Im not sure that its a successful media strategy to physically remove reporters who are asking tough questions, Earnest told reporters at the White House.
Turning to a group of press aides, Earnest joked he would need a larger security detail if he followed Trumps example, although they are tougher than they look.
Trump's exchange with Ramos is the latest example of how the businessman's position on immigration is roiling the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Earnest said the campaign rhetoric coming from GOP candidates is alarming.
There is no denying the kind of rhetoric that weve seen when it comes to immigration policy is alarming to a lot of people, he said. I dont think it reflects the values that are shared by a vast majority of the American public.
After Ramos repeatedly tried to ask Trump a question in Iowa on Tuesday, Trump told him to "go back to Univision."
Moments later, a security guard escorted Ramos out of the room. He was later allowed to return to ask a question.
Ramos, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Mexico, told CNN he finds Trump's views on immigration offensive.
This is very important to the Hispanic community, he said in an interview Wednesday. This is also personal."
I wish those black lives matter people would show up so he could kick them out and get a 10 point bump.
They weren’t “tough questions”...it was an attempted beat down and Trump threw it back in Jorge’s face.
Josh, the President still has no comment about the three Americans who saved 500 people on the train in France.
So, sit down and STFU.
Exactly, Jorge is a fraud and a rude one at that.
Constantly.
When you’re on a roll, every knock is a boost.
Those Dummycrats can’t help inadvertantly giving Donnie a pat on the back.
Obama booted out the entire Fox network so what’s the difference. Stupid is what stupid does.
Maybe he could get a point bump awarded for per each pound those cuties are overweight.
After fatuous Bobby Gibbs & Jay (Opie) Carney, I have accepted that the Press Secretaries are hired on the basis of being 'True Belivers' and able to keep a 'poker face' in the presence of absolutely STUPID statements. Regardless, they make a mockery of the Obama early, and totally broken, promise of transparent government.
trump kicked him out for being unruly.
later on, trump invited him back in and they went back and forth. ramos wasn’t asking question but more like trying to lecture trump... and trump wasn’t having it.
in typical fashion, 0bama and crew working on emotion and partial information.
someone needs to tell these stoners to stfu and sit down. it’s time for the grown ups.
Kinda hard for Obama to throw a teleprompter out of the room. Although he may have thought about it a few times.
Liberals are bullies. They hate it when they are the ones told to go screw themselves.
AMEN to that.
Roger Stone: Removing Univision Anchor Giant Plus for Trump

Donald Trumps ejection of Univision anchor Jorge Ramos at a Tuesday night news conference was a giant plus for the Republican presidential candidate, former political adviser Roger Stone told Newsmax TV on Wednesday.
It shows Trump at his best, Stone told Newsmax Prime host J.D. Hayworth. He was in command of the situation. He was firm, he was fair, he let the guy come back in but Ramos is a left-wing agitator.
His daughter works for Hillary Clinton doing Latin outreach, Stone said, referring to Paola Ramos, who joined the campaign in June. He was making a speech; he wasnt asking a legitimate question.
Trump asked security to remove Jorge Ramos from the news conference in Dubuque after the anchor asserted that Trump could not accomplish aspects of his immigration policy, including ending automatic citizenship for infants born in the United States to parents in the country illegally.
Trump had not called on Ramos, who was allowed back into the session. Trump then called on him.

I quit talking to liberals when I turned 50, 2.5 decades ago for what you posted about them!
“Have you ever seen a liberal that had any type of MANNERS?”
“To them, you never let your opponent ever finish their statements before you simply start talking over them. They figure that if they are loud enough, vile enough and just plain assholes they have the right to control the conversation.”
Thanks for your post.
Saw the video and Jorge made a real @$$ of himself, the ‘don’t you know I am’ syndrome.
“I’m glad they went after Donald. They’re arrogant enough to ignore what has happened to everyone who has crossed swords with him.
Trump can now RESPOND and kick Obama’s ass up and down the street.
And this will drive his numbers even higher. “
Donald will kick Ms Clinton’s ass until she retires for health reasons after he destroys the GOP E’s.
Then he will destroy Biden, Fauxahontas and Obozo day in day out after he wins the nomination with Ted Cruz as his “wing man”!
Trump and Cruz will destroy the rats for a least 16 years.
Another EPIC #TrumpRally coming soon! #SilentMajority will continue2 grow & be heard w/ @realDonaldTrump! #Trump2016 pic.twitter.com/fdNrDsaPc5— Daniel Scavino Jr. (@DanScavino) August 26, 2015
