[Donald Trump , Presidential Candidate:] I think I'm going to do very well with Hispanics, but we're building a wall. He's a Mexican. We're building a wall between here and Mexico.
[Cuomo:] Donald Trump says not only is the judge a Mexican, who's against him, but a Muslim would be, too. That's where Trump is about the judge overseeing fraud suits against Trump University. Trump claims the judge, Gonzalo Curiel, is biased because of his heritage. So how do people of that heritage feel about it? We have a group of Hispanic voters. What do they think? I know you are going to think they are all dead set against him because of this, right? No, that's wrong. We have people here who are considering voting for him, do want to vote for him, so let's get to the discussion. Let's get a show of hands. How do we feel? Is this relevant? Does everybody agree this is relevant?
[Unidentified Female:] Yes.
[Unidentified Male:] I don't think it's relevant.
[Cuomo:] Not even relevant, because, sir?
[Unidentified Male:] Let's focus on the issues, focus on the economy, focus on national security.
[Cuomo:] Focus on a microphone. Everyone gets a chance to speak. Don't censor him.
[Frank Aguilar, Supports Donald Trump:] Focus on the economy, on jobs, on national security and on protecting America. That's we have to focus on.
[Cuomo:] But does it matter that in describing why this judge is against him it is on the basis of his ethnicity? If this man were to be president of the United States, should there be a sensitivity to this kind of thing?
[Aguilar:] Yes, there is, but, however, remember, he is was given some funding from the Clintons over the past several, two or three years. Is that a political issue? It could be, but this is not relevant, my opinion.
[Cuomo:] Tell people who you are and who you're thinking of voting for.
[Aguilar:] My name is Frank Aguilar from Union City, New Jersey, and I'm voting for Donald Trump for a change.
[Maria Valentin, Supports Bernie Sanders:] Well, this is simply an indefensible attack on the judiciary. A motion for summary judgment just to make that clear, would mean that there isn't sufficient evidence to move forward in this case, and in a case like this, where you have so many people, this is a class action suit. Who have already testified as to the fact that they've been defrauded
[Cuomo:] Seven thousand plaintiffs were on the classes right now, twelve people have opted out.
[Valentin:] How can you grant summary judgment on a case like this? When he loses the case, he conveniently turns around and claims discrimination and racism. It's it's beneath a presidential candidate, pure and simple.
[Cuomo:] But there are people who we hear who say, wait a minute, if I'm of Mexican descent and this man seems to be hostile towards Mexicans because he's building a wall, maybe that be influence me. It seems like a human instinct. Are you dismissing that completely?
[Valentin:] I'm dismissing it because when you look at the facts of this particular case. There is ample evidence to show that a motion for a summary judgment would have erroneous. It would have been misapplied. We don't question the decisions made by the numerous white judges in the country. And I think that this is, again, just an example of Donald Trump's demagoguery. He's not trying to make America great again. He's trying to make a xenophobic and racist again. It's wrong and beneath a presidential candidate.
[Cuomo:] Tell people who you are and who are thinking of voting for?
[Valentin:] I'm Maria Valentine and I'm a registered Democrat and I voted for Bernie Sanders, but I will support the Democratic nominee against Donald Trump.
[Fernando Uribe, Independent Voter, Undecided:] Chris, thanks for having me on. My name is Fernando Uribe. I'm from New Jersey. I'm an academic. One of the things I pride myself on I look at this rationally and pragmatically.
[Cuomo:] No place here.
[Uribe:] I'm a registered independent.
[Cuomo:] You could never host this show. I want you to know that.
[Uribe:] It's unfortunate. OK.
[Cuomo:] So how do you see the situation?
[Uribe:] It's unfortunate because what's going on with this issue with Donald Trump, it's another miscalculation on his regard in terms of his momentum moving forward in this campaign. What we've seen for months now with him is this sort of calculated attacks against his opponents with his own party and obviously against Senator Sanders and primarily against Secretary Clinton. What's going on now is just another miscalculation on Donald Trump's part. I think what he needs to do, again, as an independent, I would advise him to do is to sort of get away from, trying to delegate this in the court of public opinion. Let his attorneys deal with this within the laws of the land prevail and then move from there. The convention is next month in Cleveland. He needs to focus on a platform, defining his issues and really defining what makes him a better choice than ultimately Hillary Clinton.
[Cuomo:] Maria, why is it so easy to hear from a couple of members of the panel that, I don't care what he says about me essentially. Why not? Why wouldn't someone care about this, and do you?
[Marilyn Alverio, Supports Hillary Clinton:] It's disheartening. I'm Marilyn Alverio and give in Glastonbury. So this is my second time on the panel, so great to be back, but this is a huge misstep for the kind of comments that come out of Donald Trump. And I think what I'd like to say today is that the Republican Party needs to understand that Latinos are paying attention. We are following this the comments that can be ludicrous comments that come out of this gentleman's mouth. And so the fact
[Cuomo:] He says he's going to bring jobs. That's all that matters and Latinos will wind up wanting that.
[Alverio:] We absolutely do not believe that. I don't believe him.
[Cuomo:] I believe you, frankly. I want you to know
[Alverio:] But the bottom line is that he lies continuously. He throws sensational comments out there to get the attention of the people. It's almost like entertainment.
