Is Trump having trouble making it clear that it’s the specific affiliations and connections of the curious Curiel that are the difficulty here. It wouldn’t matter if Curiel was a green Martian, he has a conflict of interest in this case. “You’re Hispanic” is something we are supposed to be civically color blind to. “You’re buddies with La Raza and you were born of illegales” isn’t.
Yeah, Trump screwed up bad on delivering this. All he had to say was ‘La Raza’. Why the hell didn’t he?
I think he is because all we hear is that the judge is Hispanic. Trump and all others speaking on his behalf need to get it out there the judge is affiliated with LaRaza and state what that organization stands for. Most people have no clue. We, here, are educated and know what LaRaza stands for.
Yes, and Trump should be pointing out his specific conflicts of interest (there are many), and not his heritage.
The judge's problem may indeed be linked to his heritage, but Trump is setting himself up for an attack by making that claim without a specific admission from the judge.
