The nit-picks are irrelevant. La Raza has a record of supporting illegal immigrants. Trump wants to build a wall. My broader point that the judge had a reasonable chance of bias stands, and Trump was right to point this out. > They didn't: they reported exactly what he said, and they took it at face value. They didn't. They took his statements out of context and then "fact checked" the misinterpretation time and time again. Find me one example where he spoke bad about Mexicans.

"La Raza has a record of [...]" No, it doesn't, because, again, "La Raza" isn't an organization. It's a name fragement used by literally thousands of different unrelated organizations. It's like saying, to use a similar name fragment common in a different ethnic community, "Fil-Am has a record of..."

  The San Diego La Raza Lawyer's Association, the group the judge belonged to, gave scholarships to illegal immigrants. You're nit-picking to detract from my point, that the judge had a reasonable chance of bias, and Trump was right to point it out.

    1. Trump said the judge was not qualified because of his race not affiliations. This is ex-post-facto reasoning and it's intellectually dishonest. 2. It's also fake news: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/06/07/trump-supporters-false-claim-that-trump-u-judge-is-a-member-of-a-pro-immigrant-group/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/06/... I see comments like yours and want to give up on dialogue. Why should I play into your game?

      1. Trump defended is statements in follow-ups. It's not post-facto reasoning. The media jumped immediately to racism though, just like the other day when they claimed Trump lied about a supposed Sweden terrorist attack, when he was talking about a TV segment. Real journalists would state the facts instead of narrativizing and follow-up to ask what he means. 2. I strongly encourage you question your own beliefs a little. That article has a lot of spin. "La Raza" is not just some innocent phrase. La Raza is dog whistle term for hispanic racism. Somewhere, in another universe, Deshaun Trump in on trial by a judge from the San Diego Klan Lawyer's Association, as people claim "it has no relation with the KKK!" (despite having a link to the parent organization on its own website). Go look up Reconquista [1]. The goal of the Reconquista is to “reconquer” these “lost” or “stolen” territories for “La Raza”—the race indigenous to Mexico. The SDLRLA has a very questionable history, and at the very least, it raises reasonable concern of bias in the case.

        I'll believe Trump is brining back coal mining jobs before I believe the he is the victim in this Trump University embarrassment.
