Trump: Where’s The Public Outcry for Obama Calling Mexicans ‘Gang-Bangers’?
Mediaite ^ | 7/1/15 | Ken Meyer

Posted on 07/02/2015 6:12:49 AM PDT by jimbo123

Donald Trump posted a statement from his campaign to Instagram on Wednesday to comment on a town hall event where President “Barrack Obama” (his misspelling) referred to some illegal immigrants as “gang-bangers.”

While Trump plugged his “Make America Great Again” campaign and said that this was one of his rare agreements with the president, he said it was hypocritical that the liberal media’s not generating public outcry against Obama when his statements were “far less controversial.”

Obama’s statements came off a question about the Affordable Care Act, where he went on to say that policy reform was necessary for resource distribution and aiding law-abiding immigrants on the path to becoming citizens:

We should not be encouraging illegal immigration. What we should be doing is setting up a smart, legal immigration system that doesn’t separate families, but does focus on making sure that people who are dangerous, people who are gang-bangers or criminals — that we’re deporting them as quickly as possible.

Very true Donald, very true.

The hypocritical world of Big Media rears its ugly head. He’s calling them out on it - good for him.

It’d be nice if others would do the same. But, that would take guts. Other than Trump and Cruz, I don’t see it.

Actually I think Rand Paul confronts the media as well. Sorry for the omission.

I don't think Obama said all Mexicans were gang-bangers. The problem with Trump is when he digs himself into a hole he keeps on digging.

“Trump is so pathetic.”

Less pathetic than most of the rest though. It would be nice if a more conservative candidate would float to the top, but so far they haven’t.

Keep it in mind that to win we need a candidate that appeals to the low information voters as well as freepers. An ideal candidate that we think is ideal is not going to win in the general.

The Donald should realize that the media worships The Hussein.

"I was his biggest cheerleader. If you go back three years, I'm saying, 'Do a great job.' I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job.” - Donald Trump to Sean Hannity, October 18, 2011

So what? I wish Obama had done a good job as well. Unfortunately, he has done a good job as far as his agenda is concerned, he just hasn’t done a good job for the American people. Trump wanted him to go a good job for American people and now says Obama has not.

Trying to shut down his ability to speak truth has to be absolutely terrifying for wimps like Jeb and his ilk. They’re sending a message to those left standing after Donald that free speech will not be tolerated. This scenario is very, very frightening. I don’t see much humor in what I’m witnessing.

Trump needs to do a free speech rally and invite those who cherish free speech to stand with him...and if they had a nut, every single Republican candidate round be standing right there with him!

Compared to the Obama-supporting, ObamaTRADE-passing,
ObamaCARE-keeping GOP, Mr. Trump acts like a Patriot
and an American.

The GOP scum don’t command such a position as they
enable Obama. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

Why? With respect to this issue of Obama calling Mexicans “gang-bangers”, why is Trump pathetic?
