Trump accuses judge of bias due to his 'Mexican heritage' - Polidicks

[url]http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-keeps-up-attacks-on-judge-gonzalo-curiel-1464911442[/url] [quote]Donald Trump on Thursday escalated his attacks on the federal judge presiding over civil fraud lawsuits against Trump University, amid criticism from legal observers who say the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s comments are an unusual affront on an independent judiciary. In an interview, Mr. Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel had “an absolute conflict” in presiding over the litigation given that he was “of Mexican heritage” and a member of a Latino lawyers’ association. Mr. Trump said the background of the judge, who was born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants, was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S. border. “I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent conflict of interest,” Mr. Trump said. The New York businessman also alleged the judge was a former colleague and friend of one of the Trump University plaintiffs’ lawyers. The judge and the lawyer once worked together as federal prosecutors, but the lawyer, Jason Forge, in an interview said he had never seen the judge socially. “Neither Judge Curiel’s ethnicity nor the fact that we crossed paths as prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office well over a decade ago is to blame” for Mr. Trump’s actions, said Mr. Forge, who is with the law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP.[/quote]

Who the fuck this is bastard, I thought blighty had it bad with the mega twat David Cameron; he's been toped or as you could say... TRUMPED. On a serious note: I really hope a bigot such as this guy does not come to power, he is obviously not politicly fit to be in such power.

Just gonna throw this in here too, this just happened [media]https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/status/738862113913856000[/media]

Apparently some of his advisors thought he should have shut his mouth regarding the judge background. It was a pretty poor strategic move. Here's his justifications: [video=youtube;OTA4RlLr4UI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTA4RlLr4UI[/video]

Anticipating Brosephs indignant rage as his Man With a Plan (and a Wall) basically implies that Mexicans are too incompetent to be judges.

Remember that boris said something similar about obama, the muppetry isn't just limited to the US sadly

The guy being a member of a La Raza foundation for going on half a decade now is a pretty big bias. Wouldn't say being Mexican is a direct bias, but being part of groups with the idea of spearheading Latino interests above all else is a pretty big one.

I'm pretty impartial to the elections but I find it baffling that he made it this far, it will be quite entertaining yet sad if he wins.

[QUOTE=Erfly;50451492]Those gasps as he says it. :v:[/QUOTE] They're Trump supporters. They're not gasping because of what he said, they're gasping because they just found out there's a black man in the audience and are terrified.

And the only people who've accused that group of being extremists are exteme-right pundits.
