misconstrued my ass.
Donald Trump on Tuesday released a statement on the ongoing controversy with Judge Gonzalo Curiel and the continuing legal battle with Trump University, attempting to close the book on the burgeoning controversy that has put the GOP into a tailspin.
In a written statement released by email, Trump defended Trump University and highlighted thousands of positive reviews of the school from former students, while also calling it unfortunate that his comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage.
I do not feel that ones heritage makes them incapable of being impartial, but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial, Trump wrote.
Trumps statement does not apologize for his comments about Judge Curiels race preventing him from doing his job fairly. Speaking to these statements, Trump says that the Judges reported associations with certain professional organizations raised questions as to his impartiality.
