Keep cawed:

"Even Newt was on O'Reilly earlier saying his assessment of Trump on this was wrong.  Funny how those condemning him have egg on their faces now lol."



Gingrich: Trump’s Attacks On Judge Curiel Are “Inexcusable.” Gingrich, a potential running mate for Trump, called Trump’s racist attacks on Curiel “inexcusable” and a “mistake” in an interview on Fox News Sunday.

Gingrich added: “[T]his judge was born in Indiana. He is an American, period. When you come to America, you get to become an American.”


From the June 5 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.’s Fox News Sunday:

CHRIS WALLACE (HOST): Are you comfortable with a potential president attacking a federal judge for his heritage?

NEWT GINGRICH: No. This is one of the worst mistakes Trump has made, and I think it's inexcusable. He has every right to criticize a judge, and he has every right to say certain decisions aren't right. And his attorneys can file to move the venue from the judge. But, first of all, this judge was born in Indiana. He is an American, period. When you come to America, you get to become an American. And Trump, who has grandparents who came to the U.S., should understand this as much as anybody.

Second, to characterize, you know -- if a liberal were to attack Justice Clarence Thomas on the grounds that he's black, we would all go crazy. Every conservative would say it was wrong and it was racism.

And Trump has got to, I think, move to a new level. This is no longer the primaries. He's no longer an interesting contender. He is now the potential leader of the United States and he's got move his game up to the level of being a potential leader.

WALLACE: Do you consider what this, he did here, racism?

GINGRICH: I think that it was a mistake. I think that it -- I hope it was sloppiness. He says on other occasions that he has many Mexican friends, etc., but that's irrelevant. This judge is not Mexican. This judge is an American citizen and deserves to be treated -- now, that means he can attack him as a judge and say he is a liberal and he is against me and he’s doing things I don't agree with, and he has lawyers who are supposed to be doing that. If it's a good case they should file to change the venue.

So if Trump's remarks were not racist, just a mistake, all he has to do is say so.
Instead, he's doubling down, no tripling down on his "Mexican" accusations and digging in his heels about the judge; he's now including Muslims in his cry baby rant, saying a Muslim judge probaly wouldn't be fair to him either.

Where does it end? Trump gets to hand pick his own judge?
As Stephen Colbert said, maybe a judge in a white robe and matching hood would suit him.
