To defend real estate mogul Donald Trumpâs claim that a federal judge is biased against him because of his âMexican heritage,â his campaign spokeswoman argued on Monday that it also would be acceptable to accuse a female judge of bias on the basis of gender.
âWell, it would depend on her past and decisions she made as a judge,â Trumpâs national spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said.
Noting that Trumpâs sister is also a federal judge, CNNâs Wolf Blitzer asked Pierson if it would be âawfulâ to accuse her of bias âin regard to some case because sheâs a woman.â
But Pierson would not rule it out, adding that âthere is no question that there are activist judges in this country.â
âCNN gives a platform to Black Lives Matter, and that entire premise is injustice in the system due to race,â she said.
While top Republicans have condemned Trumpâs attacks against U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who Trump claims has âan absolute conflictâ in presiding over a fraud case involving Trump University because his parents are from Mexico, Pierson insisted her boss is correct to go after Curiel. Trump has pledged that he will continue the attacks, and on Sunday, argued that a Muslim judge could also be biased against him.
âThereâs an injustice occurring here,â Pierson said. âThe media doesnât understand it. Thatâs the way it has always been for Republicans. He is not backing down because the media wants to pressure, call him names, call him racist. Doesnât matter which GOP individual comes out, theyâre not there and they donât have the facts. Thatâs why Mr. Trump is the nominee.â

Holy shit, apparently Trump is afraid of Mexican, Muslim, and female judges. Which judges is he NOT afraid of - the ones who rule in his favor?
