Pataki sends letter to other GOP candidates asking them to call out Trump on comments regarding illegal immigrants.
ALLENSTOWN, N.H. —Presidential candidates flocked to the Granite State during the July Fourth weekend.
Former New York Gov. George Pataki and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal attended a cookout hosted by the Merrimack County Republican Committee. The event was low-key and gave both Republican candidates the chance to talk one on one with voters.
Both candidates had something to say about recent comments from Republican challenger Donald Trump.
“I am disappointed he (Trump) hasn’t seen that it was a stupid and wrong comment,” Pataki said. “I have and I have repudiated it.”
Pataki sent a letter to the other GOP candidates asking them to call Trump out for calling illegal immigrants rapists and murderers.
“They may think that they can get away with letting it blow over, but it’s not going to work like that,” Pataki said. “And the next November the Democrats are going to remind people of Trump’s comments and we have better have had stood up and said that this is the wrong thing.”
Jindal, however, said while it is not his job to police other candidates, he agrees with Pataki.
“I don’t view people as members of ethnic groups or economic groups,” Jindal said. “This president has done too much to divide us, so obviously I disagree with his (Trump's) comments. I think we need to look at people as individuals.”
Trump has not backed down from his comments despite businesses and organizations cutting ties with his brand.
“I run and tell the facts, and the facts are we are being very badly hurt by Mexico, economically and at the border,” Trump said. “And obviously Univision is not happy about that.”
Links?
Did he want to ban the confederate flag, say that no one should be allowed to offend Muslims, say illegals are hardworking and should stay, say the government should be allowed to take private property for any reason? Trump is P.C. TrumpRINOs sho8uld not be attack real conservative candidates.
Trump P.C.:Donald Trump to Confederate flag: You’re fired!
Trump P.C.:TRUMP: ‘PAMELA GELLER IS JUST TAUNTING THEM’
Trump P.C.:TRUMP: Undocumented Workers Can Stay
Trump P.C.:Trump on Kelo: I happen to agree with it 100 percent
And Trump won't offend gays.
That is because Pataki’s only idea is blanket amnesty and that won’t fly with most republican voters.
Can you look at post #22.
So you’ve really jumped off the conservative train and onto the Trump train?
Trumps initial statement - “When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best,” he said during the announcement. “They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting."
Jindal gets it wrong. Trump in his initial statement that brought all the "outrage" refers to "Mexico" as a nation state sending and not as "ethnic groups" or is Trump speaking of "economic groups", unless Jindal means "economic groups" or "ethnic groups" are people who bring in illegal drugs, or are rapists, and other crimes.
I think it's a Japanese mushroom, not sure if it's edible though. May cause hallucinations.
How about saying that those that break our laws should be deported! How about saying that allowing criminals out on bail and not jailing them is wrong. How about so much that you should be ashamed for asking...
He took the liberal view and stating everything that any Democrat would say. After all anything else is racist!
Funny, haven’t heard anything from Scott Walker. Must still be conducting a poll.
GOPe scum.
No. He is just another GOPe scumbag.
Yes, why not say not. TRUMP: Undocumented Workers Can Stay
Trump has issued what is the equivalent of a poison pill by saying what he did on immigration. The poison pill is outing all the Trojan horses against this country Univision, Macy’s, NBC, rinos etc. These Trojan horses are choking on the poison and they are all puking their guts out for all to see.
I don’t think all these Trojan horses realize that they have been caught in their deceit for all to see. They still think they are fooling people but they no longer are. It is as if Trump is fumigating the landscape and they are all dropping like flies.
One reason the propaganda is not working and that Trump is prevailing is that people by the millions are seeing the lie as a lie. They are seeing the young woman who was assassinated in San Francisco by a criminal illegal and they are seeing the Trojan Horses trying to convince them that she does not matter. People know that this young woman is one of many tens of thousands who are being cut down by illegal criminals.
The propaganda simply is not working.
BTW I hope you know that was not directed at you, 2nd. It was directed at the GOPe politicians.
Based on what? What candidate do you like?
Pataki is scared s*itless of the leftist media. Because if he somehow wins the RINO nomination, the Dims are going to run those attack ads and have Trump’s picture inserted next to his.
Because you know, we need the “Latino vote.” And if Republicans are mean and don’t support amnesty, whoa boy, they’re gonna run to the Democrats! Along with those precious independents and moderates.
BTW I hope you know that was not directed at you, 2nd. It was directed at the GOPe politicians.
Ah, you bet that Trump would say that but we were talking about Jendal were we not? I can’t imagine Jendal saying that!
Cruz. Walker. That’s it.
No Bush. No Jindal. No Rubio. No Pataki. Just no.
And I have some doubts about Walker, but he does have executive experience and has slayed some nasty dragons (ref to union issues).
