Add another example to your list of the now-numerous times Donald Trump has antagonized and discriminated against his fellow Americans. This week, Donald Trump claimed Judge Curiel, the judge overseeing the Trump University lawsuit, was biased against him and unable to perform his civic duties due to his “Mexican heritage.” Trump amplified his racially-charged attacks during an interview yesterday on CBS’s Face the Nation, during which he expressed doubts that a Muslim judge could remain neutral in a case involving Trump.
Trump’s smears are beyond racially insensitive; they are bigoted. But don’t just take it from us.
