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.

You won’t get your definition past the U.S. government.
They define a hispanic - or latino - as anyone descended from the peoples who originated on the Iberian peninsula, in addition to the Latin American countries.
Definition straight from the U.S. Census:
“Hispanics or Latinos are those people who classified themselves in one of the specific Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino categories listed on the Census 2010 questionnaire -”Mexican,” “Puerto Rican”, or “Cuban”-as well as those who indicate that they are “another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, or the Dominican Republic. The terms “Hispanic,” “Latino,” and “Spanish” are used interchangeably”.
Aztecs, Mayans and Incans are simply aboriginal indigenous people who would be classified as such in the U.S. were they to not claim one of the other categories which might imply some Spaniard ancestry - i.e., Mestizos.
But Nauhuatl speaking Aztecs are really intense about not being hispanic or latino. They are Mexican, which is an anglicization of one of their subgroups - “meshican” is probably the best pronunciation.
And don’t call a Mayan or an Incan a hispanic or latino, at least not with a weapon nearby...you might not get out of there!
Ramos’s wiki page lists him at 5 foot 8 inch.
That would make the security gut > Huge
How cool was Trump with that? Teaching by example.
Ha...remember Bill Clinton held up the LAX runways of an hour or so ...to get his hair cut....
Here is Trump in the haircut business
So don't BS me with a "Trump can't stand up like a man".
Janelle Ross, you media slut! (Loved Dan Aykrod doing that of Jan Curtin).
Trump had pointed to a reporter in front of him as the first person to ask him a question.
Ramos, being a self-righteous self-appointed savior of the world’s Hispanics, rudely interrupted the other reporter and literally demanded that Trump answer his question first.
Ramos was RUDE, out of order, unprofessional, and just a plain media jerk, who like an illegal alien, thought that he could jump the line in front of those who were following an orderly process, and get his needs met first.
WRONG, pendajo.
While a Hispanic woman strategist for the Democrat Party (0n Fox News) (Campanza?) said that he would be a hero among Hispanics, what he did, in reality, was to show the American public that leftist Hispanic journalists from Univision refused to play by the rules that everyone else has to follow.
He was politely escorted out of the press room, not ejected, thrown out (I’ve been physically thrown out of an open conference by the Trotskyite communists), deported, or any other such action.
He was allowed to come back in and did ask a question or 50, which Trump answered, much to his credit.
Ramos hurt his “cause” and just earned Trump more White and Black votes than he might have gotten from this press conference if it had just been a routine one.
Thanks, Ramos! You are the leftist Hispanic gift that keeps on giving. Do it again and give Trump another 50,000 votes.
LUV IT!
You should run for President Troll
As someone suggested already on a different thread, same subject .....press conferences are for presstitutes not activist’s !
Bye Whore heh Jorge !
Lol. Never go FULL Retard.
Schadenfreude :)
Breitbart
A beautiful thing.
Los Indigeanos Want You To Know They Are 100% MEXICAN!!
Now if only any of them could actually speak Nahua...
Liar. Watch the clip... Oh wait you did watch the clip and now you are just lying. What do you get .50c per post? Pretty cheap wages to try selling out America. What a loser!
Just showing the correct way to write it, no offense intended:
Jorge Ramos = Come mierda.
CNN is playing it and replaying it...non-stop. :)
Just gross.
Looks like that picture was taken in a dirty bus station bathroom.
If someone with Aztec or Mayan blood is habling espanol, they are Latino/Hispanic.
I am smiling ear to ear. Hannity had this fool Jorge on his show and Sean couldn’t get the guy to admit illegals broke laws and are a danger.
Mexicans in Mexico have a real not fictitious 5% unemployment rate, our USA real rate is at least 10%.
So, illegals aren’t coming here because Mexico has no Jobs.
Our plants were shipped to Mexico, its the USA that has almost 100 million workers out of the workforce.
Illegals come here because jobs in Mexico pay much less than here in the USA, and in Mexico they don’t pay all the welfare, food stamps, medical they get here.
