Trump says Republicans upset over judge attacks 'have to get over it'



(CNN)Donald Trump on Tuesday said Republicans who are critical of his comments against a federal judge with Mexican heritage "have to get over it" and "they shouldn't be so angry for so long."

"Some of the Republicans -- and in all fairness, they're some of the people that I went through war with, and I won, and there's a lot of -- there's a lot of anxiety there," he said in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity.

A chorus of Republicans -- several of whom are up for re-election this year -- and some of Trump's former opponents have called him out for questioning the impartiality of U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over a lawsuit against Trump University.

Earlier Tuesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan argued that Trump's comments amounted to "the textbook definition of a racist comment."

1. That's it, Trump. Remain true to who you are. Never let 'em change you . . .

even after you've lost the election and critically damaged the Republican party.

Remember, Trump: It's all about youuuuuuu! That, and the daughter you'd like to have sex with.

No it's an attack on an entire branch of government - institutional racism on steroids.

Well that didn't last long. Actually, in a sense he is right though. If Paul Ryan et al are going to continue to support Trump, they might as well "get over it" because he is not going to change. El Trumpo is the Republican Party now.
