Jorge Ramos rips Mexican president for not standing up to Trump

A prominent Mexican TV news anchor is blasting Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto for inviting Donald Trump to Mexico City.

Jorge Ramos, anchor for Univision and Fusion, criticized Peña Nieto for not holding Trump accountable for some of his previous rhetoric on illegal immigration and Mexican-Americans.

Instead, during a joint press conference in Mexico Wednesday, Peña affirmed that the two men would work together to end illegal immigration if Trump is elected president.

"What a poor, lukewarm and fearful response by [Nieto] before Trump," Ramos tweeted in Spanish Wednesday. Where is the indignation to Trump's insults?"

"Trump leaves Mexico without apologizing, without promising respect to Mexicans and without changing in any way his anti-immigrant platform," Ramos added.

In his remarks, Trump called for the end of the "humanitarian disaster" of illegal immigration, saying it "must be solved quickly."

It was a pivot from the day the bombastic billionaire began his primary campaign by declaring that Mexican illegal immigrants were rapists and criminals and saying, "Mexico is not our friend."

While he softened his stance Wednesday, saying to Peña Nieto, "I call you a friend" and lavishing praise on the Mexican people, many will be focused on his speech in Phoenix, Ariz., Wednesday night that will be focused on the topic of immigration.

Ramos has had many brush ups with the Republican presidential nominee, including when the campaign escorted him out of one of Trump's press conferences last year.

Jorge Ramos, both men behaved respectfully and hopefully this will lead to a mutual resolution of our joint problems. You, on the other hand, are an ass.

Ramos stopped being a reporter and started being an illegal alien activist some time ago. One cannot be both and he has made his choice to be an activist.

They finally posted a story... about Creepy Uncle Tim (Kaine) muttering some nonsense about Trump being a "Diplomatic Embarrassment".
