Yeah, I didn't like it when he said that about the Hispanic judge. I'm 50% Hispanic, btw, and mostly identify as a Hispanic. On the ban of people from specific countries, I don't consider that racism. I consider that to be common sense. Obama had the same ban in place from those predominantly Muslim countries. Why? Because in case you haven't noticed, we have been in a war against terrorism over the last 15 years, as a direct result of Muslim terrorism against the US on 9/11. So at some point, we need to stop being politically correct and be cautious when it comes to allowing unfettered immigration from countries that have engaged in actions of war against us or harbored those who have. On his comments about Mexicans, I find them completely abhorrent. Mexico and all of Latin America should be our best friends and should be part of a massive, frictionless trading block with the US and Canada. The fact that we have not already made that happen is a massive failure on the part of the US. Trump's non stop insults of hispanic immigrants is upsetting to me. However, I agree with him that the US has no obligation to open our border to anyone. We have a right to secure our borders and kick illegals out. End of story. That is our sovereign right. The one racist incident that you didn't bring up, that I thought you would, was when he said, "There are good people on both sides," about that rally I think in Virginia where the neo-nazis were on one side and anti-nazis on the other. I think that was a totally reprehensible statement. But you see, I call it out when I see it. I don't defend Trump for saying racist things. But you refuse to repudiate Jeong for the racist things she's said. I don't get that. It really takes away from your credibility. It's hypocritical.
