Quote:Trump surrogate: GOP is betraying Lincoln’s legacy by not defending Trump against ‘racist’ judge
Quote:In an article posted at The American Spectator, top Trump surrogate Jeffrey Lord tore into Republican leaders Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell for not standing up for Trump and against the “real” racist in this case: Judge Gonzalo Curiel.
Lord’s case that Curiel is a racist hinges on his membership of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, which is an organization dedicated to “the cause of equality, empowerment and justice for Latino attorneys.” This association isn’t any different from other ethnic lawyers associations such as the National Italian American Bar Association, the Irish American Bar Association, or the The American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, but Lord seems to think it’s all a big conspiracy to bring white people down a notch.
“Can you imagine the uproar if the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had belonged to a ‘white attorneys association?'” Lord asks rhetorically, without noting that Scalia was actually a keynote speaker at the National Italian American Foundation’s (NIAF) first international legal conference. The NIAF, in case you were wondering, is an organization that is “dedicated to promoting the contributions of Italian Americans.”
