Former New York Gov. George Pataki (R) on Tuesday slammed fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who he said has been "disrespectful" toward Latinos with recent disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants.

I though it was Patootee!
add a “t” to though......please..

Everyone has a right to be disrespectful toward illegal immigrants.
He is over the Hill age wise, and is so YESTERDAY...HIS SHIP HAS SAILED.
KEEP ON PUSHING DONALD TRUMP, YOU HAVE THEM ALL WORRIED...
George who?
Sue him, Trump!
Sounds like a cow flop landing on a flat rock.
George who?
He's worse than that.....he's a NEW YORK LIBERAL, just minus the irritating, grating accent of the city boroughs. And those are the most scary kinds!
