Texas Congressman to Trump: "You're a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass"

If it wasn't clear how Rep. Filemon Vela felt about Donald Trump before, it is now. The Texas Democrat sent an open letter to the presumptive Republican nominee telling him just where to put the border wall he's been calling for since the start of his campaign.

"Mr. Trump, you're a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," wrote the second-term congressman. "I would like to end this letter in a more diplomatic fashion, but I think that you, of all people, understand why I cannot."

The letter was first reported by the Texas Tribune.

Vela, who represents a border region of Texas, was responding to the latest controversy by Trump related to the Hispanic community -- pillorying Trump for his criticism of Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge in Southern California overseeing the Trump University case. The Indiana-born Curiel has Mexican heritage, but Trump has said Curiel cannot be impartial because he is a "Mexican" and Trump wants to build a wall with along that country's border.

Vela did not mince words.

"You have now descended to a new low in your racist attack of an American jurist, U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, by calling him a 'Mexican' simply because he ruled against you," Vela wrote, warning Trump not to "dismiss me as just another 'Mexican.'"

Paul Ryan rips Trump comments as 'textbook definition of racist'
By Donovan Slack, USA TODAY
Posted: 11:52 a.m.

House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday delivered a forceful rebuke of Donald Trump’s suggestions that a judge may be biased against him because of his Mexican Heritage.
“I disavow these comments,” Ryan said. “Claiming a person can’t do the job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable.”
But the Wisconsin Republican, who endorsed Trump last week, said he still supports him.
“Do I believe that Hillary Clinton is the answer? No, I do not,” he said. “I believe that we have more common ground on the policy issues of the day and we have more likelihood of getting our policies enacted with him than we do with her.”

NOTICE how many Trump supporters (Trumpettes ?) over there, are still carrying on about how The Don would build them a wall along the Mexiacan border  "...and make those Mexicans pay for it !",  if he were ever elected...

DESPITE the apparent minor hurdle that the POTUS simply hasn't the power to either build such a wall, nor force a foreign sovereign state to pay for it..
