He said a judge isn't qualified to rule on a case because he has Latino ancestry.

No, he said the judge isn't qualified to rule on the case because they have ties to La Raza, and to Clinton.

For the record, I agree that the ties are true and I think the questioning of impartiality is legitimate.

However, that was not the way I heard Trump frame it. He said that it was because he was Mexican and that it would cause conflict due to Trump's building a wall. When asked a follow up of whether a muslim judge should be held in question for comments Trump made he said something along the lines of "Probably, very likely yes." There is definitely egg on his face over this and its his fault.

Trump said a judge presiding over one of his current court cases where he is being sued cannot be impartial because he's "Mexican". This judge was born in Indiana, near Chicago, over sixty years ago. But because the judge's parents were born in Mexico, the judge must be Mexican and thus biased against Trump.

No wonder Mitt Romney doesn't like Trump, Mitt's father was also born in Mexico.
