Christian Reflection and Prayer

Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan,
who gave his support to Trump, said
Tuesday that Trump’s recent attack on U.S.
District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel was
“the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
Textbook racism, said Ryan — but he has yet
to withdraw his support.

 

Trump has doubled down on the comments
about Curiel, who is the presiding judge in
lawsuits filed against him by former students of
his Trump University. “I’m building the wall, I’m
building the wall,” Trump said. “I have a Mexican
judge. He’s of Mexican heritage. He should have
recused himself, not only for that, for other things.”

 

Many have pointed out that Judge Curiel is a
highly respected American jurist born in Indiana to
parents of Mexican descent.

 

So the question becomes — both for Paul Ryan
and for all of us — what should “the textbook
definition” of racism mean for the election of the
president of the United States?
