Donald Trump, derider of Mexican illegal immigrants, insulter of POWs and GOP front-runner, kicked journalist Jorge Ramos out of a press conference Tuesday evening.
The billionaire later allowed Ramos back into the press conference, where the two engaged in several lengthy exchanges that dominated the remainder of the event. But none of those exchanges provided the moment that will be repeated in endless loops on cable TV, shared on social media and discussed in Hispanic TV-watching households across the country.
The lasting image will be that of Ramos -- who serves as Univision's lead anchor and is effectively one of the (if not the) most powerful newsmen on Spanish-language TV -- being hustled out of the room after trying to ask Trump a question. Ramos, whose nightly newscast has been known to post ratings that top those of all three major English-language network news programs, has a history of holding presidential candidates very close to fire on issues he believes to be of deep concern to Latinos, such as immigration.

That’s exactly right!
Keep trying, Nick.
Trump gave the bum the bum rush, which he deserved. Trump was the clear winner here.
what? Did someone hack your account? Your post sounded like a troll screed.
“From what I saw the guy was heckling him.”
Yes, he was being obnoxious and speaking out of turn. Trump was being gracious in letting the little weasel back in and allowing him to ask a question.
Trump scared of him?? LOL
Megyn Kelly just hammered Cruz by the way. Asked him if he would deport babies that were born with, in her words, “birthright citizenship”. Cruz wouldn’t answer. He backed off and she hammered him.
“Sen Cruz, it’s so unlike you to dodge a question”. Wish he would have fought back at least a little.
Trump was trying to recognize someone to ask a question, and Ramos simply would not accept that he wasn’t going to get first question. He kept yapping and security escorted him out.
Trump let him in later to ask questions, but the guy was still every antagonistic. He would ask a question, Trump would get about five words out, and he would interrupt and refuse to let Trump respond.
If I had been Trump, I would have said, “I tried...”, and let security remove him again.
Several reporters tried to turn it into a love fest for poor booted Ramos and Trump would have none of it. He mentioned he was screaming and wouldn’t follow decorum.
LOL, these press people are mortified, they can’t “handle” him like they have others. It’s the children at the feet of the leader. LOL
That POS Ramos didn’t want to wait his turn in line. He wanted to jump in front of all the others, and be rewarded with asking his question. Very symbolic, don’t you think?
Jorge Ramos = !Una gran mierda!
The presstitutes are used to dealing with adults.
Trump kicked a disruptive jerk out of a press conference and taught the press exactly how he will handle them if they get out of line. He then let him back in when well behaved. I am not a Trump fan but he did the right thing here and people are cheering it because they are just as fed up with the gotcha press doing the dems dirty work.
+10 this!
"Excuse me sir, this is not time for questions sir," Obama said to a reporter who asked a question during his Rose Garden speech on his new immigration policy. "Not while I'm speaking."
And the 'press' went ape s***
Watch: Univision reporter forcibly removed from Trump presser
LOLOL!! Love that :)
That will not be a lasting image for me but it is a pleasant one.
I am sure someone must have picked up on what Trump did.......So Ramos was not following his rules, he was removed from the room, BUT was “allowed back in.” What is Trump saying his policy will be on illegals from Mexico, they will be removed but allowed back in. HYSTERICAL!!!
