The Hillary Clinton campaign condemned Donald Trump’s attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel on Friday, defending the U.S. District judge who has become the [most recent object of the presumptive GOP](http://time.com/4351757/donald-trump-judge-unseals-trump-university-documents/) nominee’s wrath because of his rulings in an ongoing lawsuit involving Trump University.

In a series of tweets and interviews over the last several days days, Trump has attacked the credibility of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, calling him “[very biased and unfair](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump),” and suggesting he is a “[hater of Donald Trump](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2016/06/01/437ccae6-280b-11e6-a3c4-0724e8e24f3f%5Fstory.html)” because he is “Mexican.” He told the [Wall Street Journal](http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-keeps-up-attacks-on-judge-gonzalo-curiel-1464911442) Thursday that Judge Curiel had an “inherent conflict of interest” because he was “of Mexican heritage” and “I’m building a wall.”

The Clinton campaign came to Judge Curiel’s defense Friday, in a statement condemning Trump’s attacks. “Judge Curiel and his family epitomize the American Dream,” said Lorella Praeli, Director of Latino Outreach for Hillary for America. “His parents worked hard to give their U.S.-born children a better life.”

Judge Curiel was born in Indiana to parents who had emigrated from Mexico. He recently ruled to unseal documents in the case that offer a glimpse at the business dealings of Trump University, which allegedly duped plaintiffs into spending tens of thousands of dollars for get-rich-quick schemes.


“The fact that Donald Trump doesn’t see Judge Curiel and his family as Americans makes him unfit to be president of this great nation, a nation of immigrants,” Praeli continued. “In Trump’s version of America, this Latino family isn’t really American.

“And Hillary Clinton will fight for ALL Americans,” she concluded.


## Transcript

[ APPLAUSE ] I believe the person the Republicans have nominated for president cannot do the job. [ APPLAUSE ] Donald Trump's ideas aren't just different, they are dangerously incoherent. They're not even ideas, just a series of bizarre rants Personal feuds and outright lies. He's not just unprepared, he's temperamentally unfit. Donald Trump doesn't know the first thing about Iran or its nuclear program. Ask him. It'll become very clear, very quickly. There's no risk of people losing their lives if you blow up a golf course deal. [ LAUGH ] Just like being interviewed on the same episode of 60 Minutes As Putin was, is not the same thing as actually with Putin.

His economic plans would add more than 30 trillion, that's trillion with a t, 30 trillion dollars to our national debt over the next 20 years. He has a lot of ideas about who to blame. But no clue about what to do. A Trump presidency would embolden in ISIS. We cannot take that risk. This isn't reality television. This is actual reality. I don't understand Donald's bizarre fascination with dictators and strong men who have no love for America. He said you got to give. Kim Jong- un credit for taking over North Korea, something he did by murdering everyone he saw as a threat, including his own uncle, which Donald described gleefully like he was recapping an action movie.

Traitor. And he said, if he were grading Vladimir Putin as a leader he'd give him an A. Now I will leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his affection for tyrants. We all know the tools Donald Trump brings to the table, bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets. I'm willing to bet he's writing a few right now. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
