Who is Gonzalo Curiel? The ‘Mexican’ judge denounced by Trump fought the drug cartels

“What’s so ironic is that Gonzalo gave so many years of his life to protecting America from drug traffickers,” said Vega. “He had a credible threat on his life. Do you really think being called [names] by Mr. Trump is going to frighten him? How silly.”

"Curiel listened carefully to both sides and then split the difference: He set the trial date for Nov. 28, three weeks after the election but nearly two months before the inauguration. He wanted to “accommodate” Trump’s political schedule, he told the parties, but in the event Trump was elected president, he didn’t want the “leader of the free world” to have to take time out from his Oval Office duties to take the witness stand in his courtroom. (Both sides took note of the Supreme Court’s unanimous 1997 ruling in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by Paula Jones against Bill Clinton that presidents are not immune from civil litigation.)"

I think Donald described a key female Republican of Mexican descent as "slow moving". Instead of calling her a silly name, maybe he should have considered using her as a potential ally. Name calling may provide a temporary distraction, but it will not take away the fact that he is going to have to show up in court.
