Trump Suggests Judge in Trump University Case Is Biased Because He’s Hispanic
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-suggests-judge-in-trump-university-case-is-biased-because-hes-hispanic/The attacks on Trump University from his rivals seem to be rattling Donald Trump, as he spent quite a bit of time at a rally today insisting his university was not a scam and downplaying the lawsuit against him.
For a quick summation: Trump U started in 2005 and ran for a few years with the promise of helping people learn about real estate and business from The Donald himself. Some people who signed up complained it was a scam and have filed a lawsuit against Trump for ripping them off.
Trump insisted today he’s won much of the case, saying that “we have a very hostile judge.” And then he actually said this:
“The judge should have thrown the case out on summary judgment. But because it was me and because there’s a hostility toward me by the judge, tremendous hostility, beyond belief––I believe he happens to be Spanish, which is fine, he’s Hispanic, which is fine, and we haven’t asked for a recusal, which we may do, but we have a judge who’s very hostile.”

Now why would a Hispanic judge be biased against the vulgar talking yam? I thought he was YUGE! among Hispanics!
