Sen. Susan Collins calls Donald Trump's comments unacceptable
Source: Sun Journal
Maine Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins on Monday denounced Donald Trump's comments about a Latino judge presiding over a lawsuit against Trump University.
Donald Trumps comments on the ethnic heritage and religion of judges are absolutely unacceptable," Collins wrote in a news statement. "His statement that Judge (Gonzalo) Curiel could not rule fairly because of his Mexican heritage does not represent our American values. Mr. Trump's comments demonstrate both a lack of respect for the judicial system and the principle of separation of powers.
Other prominent Republican leaders have pushed back against Trump's attacks on Curiel.
In early May, Collins said she could endorse Trump for president if stopped the "gratuitous personal insults" and "bizarre" behavior.

Horrible, terrible, bad, disgusting - go to the damn thesaurus but don't say unacceptable - its too weak and spineless!

The "moderate" Repubs are only holding out for better surrender terms.

(45,319 posts)end she will give a long speech of praise for him because that's what Republicans do. And she is one, she's of the same political culture as Trump, she can deny that but she's remained in the GOP as it went frolicking down Idiot Street the last several years so it's obvious that her words are empty theatrics.
