'Look at my African-American over here' June 3, 2016 4:08 pm RL

I guess its good that the GOP has stopped pretending it isn’t racist- but damn it is sickening to watch…

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/282182-trump-points-out-black-audience-member-look-at-my-african

“Look at my African-American over here,” Trump said to the audience member during a rally in Redding, Calif.

This the same day he said that a ‘Mexican’ judge (born in Indiana) cannot judge him because he is ‘Mexican’…

“Now, this judge is of Mexican heritage,” Trump said. “I’m building a wall, OK? I’m building a wall. I am going to do very well with the Hispanics, the Mexicans.”

Tapper pressed Trump a number of times as to whether the attack was racist because he insists on calling Curiel’s heritage as a reason why he cannot preside fairly over the case.

“If you are saying he cannot do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism?” Tapper asked.

Trump said that it was not.

“So no Mexican judge could ever be involved in a case that involves you?” Tapper pressed.

…

“I’m going to do very well with Hispanics because I’m going to bring back jobs and they’re going to get jobs right now,” he continued. “I think I’m going to do very well with Hispanics, but we’re building a wall. He’s a Mexican. We’re building a wall between here and Mexico. The answer is, he is giving us very unfair rulings — rulings that people can’t even believe.

“Well, I’m building a wall, OK?” Trump went on. “And it’s a wall between Mexico, not another country.” (whatever the hell that means)
