As for Scalia, he commented that he did not like his statements saying Blacks should go to less challenging colleges...

Trump was mistaken about these being Scalia DIRECT words/ideas. Scalia was making reference to other sources/briefs/researchers and passing along their findings in the form of a question. Trump should have taken a little more time to research before he responded or framed his criticism differently so as to not place the words in Scalia’s mouth. This was a Trump error.

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump says Justice Antonin Scalia’s comments about black students performing better in “slower-track” universities are “very tough” to African-Americans.

“I thought it was very tough to the African-American community, actually,” Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview that aired Sunday on “State of the Union.”

“I don’t like what he said,” Trump added. “No, I don’t like what he said. I heard him, I was like, ‘Let me read it again’ because I actually saw it in print, and I’m going — I read a lot of stuff — and I’m going, ‘Whoa!’ “

Scalia has been criticized for comments he made Wednesday during the Supreme Court’s hearing of an affirmative action case in which he seemed to suggest that some African-Americans belong in lesser colleges.

“There are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a less — a slower-track school where they do well,” Scalia said. “One of the briefs pointed out that most of the black scientists in this country don’t come from schools like the University of Texas.”
