The media and politicians are tearing Don the Con a new one

over his racist attacks on Judge Curiel - was watching CNN

<snip>

In a rare display of bipartisan harmony, Democrats and Republicans joined together Monday in rejecting Donald Trump's comments about the ethnicity of a judge overseeing a class action suit against his shuttered university.

Members of both parties derided the brash billionaire for his racist remarks on how U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who is presiding over an enormous fraud class action in a federal court in San Diego against Trump University — wouldn't be fair in the case due to his "Mexican heritage."

At a rally outside Trump Tower, in Midtown, more than 50 people, led by New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, rallied in calling for the temperamental tycoon to take back his claims about Curiel.

The point of him "taking back" such statements would be what?

There's no point to anything any of them say - they all supported and encouraged his racist birther madness against President Obama.
They all know he's a woman hating racist fascist con man yet they endorsed him. Fugg the 'collective pack' (as a close friend likes to say).

they, along with the gop, created this monster and now they're shocked that he's a racist.

he called Mexicans rapists and murderers way last year and they did everything possible to make him the nominee.

8. Even the Republicans know that ful-on undermining of the judiciary is dangerous in the extreme

Most of these guys are lawyers, after all.

Trump's attacks are odious and fascistic even to the odious fascists that fill the Republican caucus.
