After Trump’s latest screed against Megyn Kelly, the Fox News posse, including Sheriff Ailes, joins forces in calling him out.
As Tierney Sneed reports, Silicon Valley wants to end birthright citizenship like it wants a hole in the head.
It all seems commonplace today. But here’s how the Christian Right transformed American politics.
Donald Trump has his bouncer toss Univision anchor Jorge Ramos from his press conference. “Go back to Univision!” Watch here.
TPM Reader JB has his own take here ….
If you go to Univision.com right now, the video is on the front page top. Not top of the news section; top center of the whole website (at least on a phone). There is a headline like “Trump Kicks Jorge Ramos Out of Press Conference” and then the money quote: “Go Back to Univision”.
The video has no set up or commentary from a Univision reporter or news anchor. None is required. This is one powerfully self-explanatory clip. It is hard to imagine the message being any clearer to the millions of Univision viewers, spat straight from the sneering, hateful mouth of a big, blonde-haired and red-faced White Man:
The alleged suspect in this morning’s shooting of a news crew has posted to his social media accounts what appear to be videos he himself took during the shooting.
Late Update: The alleged shooter has reportedly shot himself. Conflicting reports on his status. Initial reports were that he had died, but more recent reports are that he is in critical condition.
Trump imitates cartoonish “Asian” speaking in campaign stop while discussing aggressive Chinese and Japanese trade negotiation.
As Jorge Ramos was just outside the auditorium doors after being booted from that Trump press conference, a Trump supporter told Ramos to “get out of my country.” Watch the video.
Ramos is an American citizen.
Let’s review: without waiting to be called on, Univision’s Jorge Ramos started asking Donald Trump questions at his news conference. Trump got mad and told Ramos to “go back to Univision” before having his bouncer toss Ramos from the auditorium. One of Trump’s supporters outside the auditorium – even wearing a signature Trump costume and button – got the message loud and clear and told Ramos to “Get out of my country. Get out!”
Here’s the picture. But you can see him much more clearly in the video which you can find embedded in this story.
Now first off, if you watch the video, can anyone identify the supporter in this video? The video is very clear. Maybe he’s just some totally random Trump supporter who happened to be outside the press conference. But my hunch is there’s a bit more to it than that and I bet someone reading this can identify him. If you can, please drop us a line. Click the email link right under the TPM logo at the upper left to send us a note. I really, really would like to know who this person is and whether he has any connection to the Trump campaign other than simply supporting the candidate.

Certainly Trump/Ramos and its inevitable metastases have been the political story of the day. But I have a rhetorical question.
How does disrespecting and bouncing Jorge Ramos,the most influential Hispanic man in America, and then inviting him back for a give-and-take, do anything but strengthen Trump’s position?
Donald Trump explains why he’s getting support from white supremacists like David Duke: “People like me across the board. Everybody likes me.”
