Watch: CNN Contributor Reads Trump the Riot Act Over Attacks on Judge and It’s Amazing

Conservative Ana Navarro Slams GOP Presumptive Nominee for Racist, Xenophobic Comments Against Judge in Trump U Case

Ana Navarro Friday afternoon lit into Donald Trump after the GOP presumptive nominee repeatedly attacked the judge hearing the case filed against Trump University. 

“What he’s doing is disgusting. I’m livid about it, and if this is his strategy to win over Hispanics, he’s got a hell of a wake-up call coming to him come November,” Navarro told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “What he is doing is wagging the dog,” Navarro railed. The conservative commentator, a former Jeb Bush supporter, is also an attorney and is Hispanic. She added that Trump’s attacks against U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel are “offensive from a legal perspective” and “highly offensive as a Hispanic,” as Talking Points Memo reported.

Trump is “trying to distract from the fact that he has got a problem with the case where there are allegations that his business is a scam and a fraud,” Navarro said. “How dare he, how dare he question a judge’s responsibility, a judge’s adherence to the Constitution because he’s of Mexican descent?” Navarro asked. “This man was born in east Chicago. He’s an American citizen. He’s just as American as Donald Trump.”

“Mexican-Americans bleed, just as any other American, when they go to war,” she continued, especially angered. “They bled just as any other American on 9/11. They fight for America. They are Americans. And what he is doing is disgusting.”

Trump has been attacking the judge since February but today claimed Judge Curiel has a conflict of interest and should recuse himself because “he’s a Mexican, we’re building a wall.”
