Cruz to NBC: Trump 'Inappropriate to Attack a Judge's Race or Ethnicity'
NBC News ^ | Jun 6 2016, 5:06 pm ET | NBC News

Posted on 06/06/2016 2:35:52 PM PDT by conservative98

Here's an interesting exchange between NBC News and former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz that happened just now:

NBC: Donald Trump's remarks about Judge Curiel, are his concerns legitimate?

Cruz: Of course it's inappropriate to be attacking a federal judge's race or ethnicity. You're going to have ask Donald to explain the reason he says the things he does. I'm not going to try to do so.

NBC: Ben Sasse said that what Donald Trump said about the judge is pure definition of racism. Is Donald Trump a racist?

Cruz: As I said, it is obviously inappropriate to attack a judge's race or ethnicity. Beyond that, you're going to have to ask Donald.

NBC: (As Cruz walks away): Last question — Senator, can you fathom though still at this point supporting Donald Trump in November?

(No response -- goes into office)

And this was the jackass some people here thought was actually ordained by God to be president?

They still do. I browse twitter and see these nut jobs claim that Lyin' Ted is foretold in some prophecy in the Bible to literally become President and rule the world.

I consider myself a practicing Christian but these people are nut jobs.

At this point we don't need their votes and I think it would be embarrassing to have any of these establishment bums at the convention. Trump and his people should run it. Let Ryan have dinner with his lobbyist buddies in DC.

“the same week Clinton gets enough delegates to secure the nomination, to boot!”

Meanwhile every left wing mediot is clutching her pearls and screaming that Trump insulted a judge by exposing that judge’s connections to La Raza.

So few if any know that Clintoon has stolen enough delegates to be the rat candidate.

good grief this goes to show how the media manipulates the news cycle and all the dopes ion this country just follow.

How many people really give a crap about this, because I don;t. The bigger question is why is this judge in a racist organization?

“Unfortunately, Trump didn’t say that about the judge. “

He did. On a Sunday interview, plus probably a lot more places I didn’t hear.

According to Roger Stone, Trump has control now of the rules, and credentials platform. It won’t do Cruz any good to try to stir the pot.

TRUMP is shoving political correctness down the throats of the dweebs, showing us how to answer La Raza.

They talk “The Race”— (MEXICAN).

TRUMP answers in kind— MEXICAN!

Judge La Raza and his La Raza associations came from us, not TRUMP.

TRUMP hits at the foundation of Marxism, leaving the details of the network to conservative media supporters like Drudge, etc.

But now, Trump is on the defensive offense, again thanks to the free media coverage he is getting from people like you and the left wing mediots.

Yep you got that right Grampa. Trump is peeling back the layers. This biased judge, the San Jose Mayor and Police Department. Everyday people are seeing the Country for the first time with blinders off.

Go Trump Go!!!

I wish Sasse would shut up. Who asked that guy? He’s like a Jeff Flake/ Tim Pawlenty love child who has been propped up for some reason.

One of the things I’m beginning to think about La Raza and all the other SJWs/radicals is, they think that the world they live in would continue if they were left to their own. They think that places like San Diego, the nice parts, would continue to be like they are now, if they took over. They don’t realize that there are people that produce that make those places what they are.

They’re no different than any other hordes that thinks the neighborhoods will stay nice, once they move in. Even if they got the entire west coast, all the way up to Washington, it would become a 3rd world shithole in a matter of months, just like the one they’re leaving.

Did Ted condemn the San Jose rioters? I doubt he even commented, but here he is, piling on with all of Trump’s other detractors.

I tell you, the man is a worm.

I don't have an exact quote, and don't need one. Trump has outfoxed the media consistently over the past year on these PC issues, and this will be the same.

The judge is corrupt, racist, and evil. The selected prosecutors are corrupt, racist, and evil. The Clintons are corrupt and evil. This is already obvious to most who have a few working brain cells.

Lots of dumbass Americans are about to learn, and need to learn, that "La Raza" means "The Race", is a militant, violent, racist organization, and needs to be ostracized just like the KKK is.

What can come out of this, I hope, is that everyone who is against Trump on this issue will be shown to be corrupt, racist, evil, and anti-American.

I don't yet believe Newt is against Trump; I hope he is playing his role as good cop, and helping get the facts before the American voters.
