Paul Ryan Disavows Trump's Attack on Judge's 'Mexican Heritage'


And this story came out just a few moments before Megyn Kelly began her show where she intended to discuss the Paul Ryan Endorsement. Trump's blatantly racist attack on a sitting federal court judge merely because he ruled against Trump leading to this epic rant.

Seriously, how can anyone look at this guy and the way he handles anything remotely perceived as a personal attack and think that he will react any differently around world leaders. To want such a thin-skinned man around the nuclear codes?

I guess we finally figured out what Trumpet supporters actually wanted when they said they want Trump to blow it up.

 
For those who would rather read Megyn's rant, here you go:

 
Or this from the Volokh Conspiracy as printed in the Washington Post a few days ago


Full article is here and fwiw I think David Post hits the nail right on the head.

On Donald Trump and the Rule of Law
 

Ryan 2020.

Clearly you do not not know what "racist" is.


Secondly, the Judge has ties to an organization who's President made false comment against Trump and was derogatory against the GOP.

Over the next year, when things potentially settle down a bit for him and he's better able to shape the House, it is more than possible. If one presumes that the GOP is tossing aside Kasich, Christie, Walker, and Paul, Paul Ryan is one of the GOP's strongest remaining assets. His main competitors could be Niki Haley, Martinez, or folks like Pence. But remember that Paul Ryan has basically been the GOP's bail money since 2012 (first as Obama ideas competitor, second as Romney's assurance to the base, third as Speaker). If he isn't going to be a huge candidate, you can bet much of the party will see him as a potential Kingmaker.

I am really trying to pinpoint the moment in time when the majority of people lost their god damn minds.

Really.

First of all, Megyn, you anorexic beast, being a part of an organization which shows partiality, which in this case is Latino's does make you a partisan.

Second, Megan, with your dumb ass spelled name that I have to keep going back and fixing after my spell check changes it, the man is Mexican if he has Mexican parents and Mexican heritage the same as I am a German or Bill O'reilly is Irish -- you're making an asinine argument about a distinction which defies common understanding and usage to pic nits and throw yourself into the lime light yet again. You're a glory whore.

Third Megyn, perhaps a review of the trial needs to take place and will should Trump lose, it's called an appeal. You're giving an opinion, your opinion which is meaning less and less that dog **** every day you open your nutritionally deprived mouth.

You then, Megyn, do the very same thing that you're accusing Trump of, but actually doing it!!!! Making a point that this judge can't possibly be biased because was battling drug cartels as if there would be some predisposed reason for him not to? What would that be? Because he's Mexican?

"Look!! LOOK!!!! He fought his own kind over drugs!!!! He can't possibly be biased!!!"


I mean for **** sake.....seriously...

I was editing while you were posting.
But here is the link between the Judge and the group called La Raza.
Or would you like a link to the article where the President of La Raza openly was derogatory to Trump and the GOP?


​


Is Trump just supposed to accept that a supporter of La Raza is not biased as well?
I surely wouldn't.
 

Why hasn't Trump's lawyers filed a petition for the Judge to recuse himself
 

First, not the same LA Raza.

Second, why hasn't Trump's lawyers filed a petition for the judge to recuse himself?

Third, Trump is claiming that a Mexican family linkage means that a judge has an inherent bias against Trump. You support that belief?
 

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I was about to post this "In addition".
I will post it here as a reply.


In addition to the above.

The La Raza Lawyers Association has tried to distance their self from the National Council of La Raza by saying the following.
“Our organization has not been involved in organizing any of the anti-Trump rallies, much less encouraged our members or anyone to participate in any illegal activity,”​

That doesn't say there isn't a connection between the two organizations.
But even if there isn't an actual connection between the two, the Lawyers Association still has handed out scholarships to illegals which Trump is against.
 

"It's reasoning I don't relate to. I completely disagree with the thinking behind that," Ryan said.

Ryan can disagree with it til the cows come home. That xenophobic isolationism is the surfboard Trump is riding to the Presidency on.

Never said they were the same organization.

You need to ask his lawyers that.
For all anyone knows his lawyers may believe that even though the Judge has an apparent conflict of interest with the person he is presiding in a case over, their chances at a win are not influenced by it.
So again as no one know what they are thinking you should ask them, not me.

The Judge sat on a board granting scholarships, at least one of which was to an openly illegal.
Of course there is a conflict when one is for illegals and one is against.

so if a judge was giving money to an irish or italian scholarship fund it would be okay to call him racist, or is this rule just for hispanics?
 

There is no conflict of interest that has been demonstrated when presiding over a trial about business fraud, however.

Racist? What are you talking about?
I was addressing an apparent conflict of interest.
If a Judge who supported that were presiding over a case of an individual who was adamantly opposed to doing such, the conflict would be implied.

than mexican heritage has nothing to do with it, trump said his mexican heritage is a conflict of interest because hes building a wall, which im assuming he means a muslim judge, a liberal judge, a black judge, a female judge also wouldnt be able to preside over his case, either
 

But, Megyn Kelly isn't running for President. Big difference.
 
You are not addressing what was said. That is called being non-responsive.

You spoke to your scholarship question which has absolutely nothing to do with your racist comment.

I answered that question. Yes there would be a conflict of interest.
 

Trump will find something wrong with any judge that rules aginst him, just like he finds something wrong with anyone who says anything he doesnt like.
He is a very thin skinned egotistical small minded loser.

Ah hello?
That is the norm for most people.

Hell, that is basically the basis behind everyone's dislike of Trump. Something he said.
