Dem Rep.: ‘Take Your Border Wall And Shove It Up Your Ass’

A Democratic congressman from Texas derided presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump as “a racist” and slammed the businessman for his attacks on “Mexican” U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel in a scathing open letter on Monday.

“Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass," U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela (D-TX) wrote, as quoted by the Texas Tribune.

Reminds me of how strong Texas Dems used to be...before Poppy Bush gave away all of that land for pennies on the dollar to sleazy corporations like Enron and took over the state.

and pretend Filemon Vela is a spokesmen for Judge Gonzalo Curiel and hold him up as a classic example of how another Mexican American is standing up for Mexicans and not America, and how Trump himself is a victim as are all Americans as he's put Mexico before America.

just a guess.

"Before you dismiss me as just another 'Mexican,' let me point out that my great-great-grandfather came to this country in 1857, well before your own grandfather," he continued. “His grandchildren (my grandfather and his brothers) all served our country in World War I and World War II. His great-grandson, my father, served in the U.S. Army and, coincidentally, was one of the first 'Mexican' federal judges ever appointed to the federal bench."

I can't wait for the wholesale humiliation DT will see handed to him. That man will be forever in the wilderness, untouchable henceforth.

I wouldn't even be surprised if he goes completely broke and his wife ended up leaving, as she's essentially said that what she really likes is the money.
