A federal judge presiding over a naturalization ceremony in San Antonio, Texas told the group present Thursday that if they don’t like President-elect Donald Trump, they can “go to another country,” according to KHOU.
Judge John Primomo invoked the election during the ceremony, telling attendees that Trump was going to be their president whether they voted for him or not.
“I can assure you that whether you voted for him or you did not vote for him, if you are a citizen of the United States, he is your president,” Primomo said in a video capture by the station. “He will be your president and if you do not like that, you need to go to another country.”
He also went on to criticize anti-Trump protestors and those who kneel during the National Anthem as a protest, according to the station.
“I detest that, because you can protest things that happen in this country; you have every right to,” Judge Primomo said. “You don’t do that by offending national symbols like the national anthem and the flag of the United States.”
Primomo later told KHOU that he meant his words to be unifying and not political. He said he did not vote for Trump, but wanted to stress respect for the President.
Watch the video below via KHOU:
I might be a bit out of it today, but don’t you need to be a citizen before you can vote? How could these people have voted for anyone?
Secondly, these new citizens have the same rights as you, shithead, so that means that can protest against trump all they want. Actually, they can even protest against you.
What an ignorant asshole.
Since when were people allowed to vote before they were naturalized?
And I won’t even start with the reprehensible inappropriateness of his comments.
What an ignorant asshole.
Fuck you you miserable excuse for a jurist and tolerable imitation of an hemerrhoidal asshole [1]
[1]I mean these words to be unifying and not political.
Shorter Judge Primono: Welcome to tRump’s Murikkka. Love it or leave it.
These people all just passed a test on understanding the constitution. Wonder if the judge could?
