    Before the lynching of The Donald proceeds, what exactly was it he said about that Hispanic judge?



    Stated succinctly, Donald Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over a class-action suit against Trump University, is sticking it to him. And the judge's bias is likely rooted in the fact that he is of Mexican descent.

    Can there be any defense of a statement so horrific?

    Just this. First, Trump has a perfect right to be angry about the judge's rulings and to question his motives. Second, there are grounds for believing Trump is right.

    On May 27, Curiel, at the request of The Washington Post, made public plaintiff accusations against Trump University -- that the whole thing was a scam. The Post, which Bob Woodward tells us has 20 reporters digging for dirt in Trump's past, had a field day.

    And who is Curiel?

    An appointee of President Obama, he has for years been associated with the La Raza Lawyers Association of San Diego, which supports pro-illegal immigrant organizations.

    Set aside the folly of letting Clinton surrogates like the Post distract him from the message he should be delivering, what did Trump do to be smeared by a bipartisan media mob as a "racist"?

    He attacked the independence of the judiciary, we are told.

    Or it could be that they simply understand the bigotry of his statements and realized that there was no need to speak to the judge's race in addressing his ability to do his job. If the issue was the conflict, then he could have said that. He didn't. He acted the same way he has consistently acted against anyone who is not a white male.

    It's amazing. For as much as the GOP supporters have parroted the Fox News talking points that Obama has divided the country, along comes Donald Trump yelling what he GOP has tried to keep in dulcet tones for 8 years. But the world is to believe that Barack Obama is the one who has "divided" the country.

    I don't recall saying anything about Obama's divisiveness, or really much of anything at all regarding Obama. Other than to point out that Black wealth has declined under his administration.

    Trump will say what he wants, often in a rude way, but there is fact behind his statements on Judge Curiel. He cannot get an impartial judgement from this man.
