David Ortiz: Donald Trump's comments about Mexicans 'didn't sit well with me'

David Ortiz told USA Today's Jorge L. Ortiz "he's not particularly knowledgeable about politics" but that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's remarks about Mexico sending rapists and criminals to the United States "didn't sit well" with him.
"When you speak like that about us, it's a slap in the face," Ortiz told USA Today of Latinos in general. "I walk around sometimes, and I see Mexican people trying to earn a living in an honest way. And to hear somebody make those kinds of comments, it hits you. I think as Latin people we deserve better. Things have gotten much better in that regard. ... As Latin people we deserve respect, no matter where you're from. And especially our Mexican brothers, who come here willing to do all the dirty work.
"Latin people here in the United States are the spark plug of the country's economy," Ortiz added. "Whoever opposes that is going to lose. And not just Latin people but immigrants. I'm talking about people who come from Africa, from Asia, other places. All those people come here with one goal, to realize the American dream, and you have to include them in our group."

Well this really makes me rethink everything.

Ortiz' ignorance should land him a gig on cnn.

The minute I start basing my political opinions off of David Ortiz's comments is the minute I want you to kill me.

Thanks pal. I've been sitting here wondering what David Ortiz thought about Donald Trump's comments about Mexicans. Now I know

I don't care about his 3rd world opinions.

David Ortiz could drown a bag full of puppies on national television and I'd still love him for 2004. I could not care less about his political views.

Looks like I won't be voting for Trump anymore.

I mean, I think his statement is pretty mild to be getting all the backlash.

Ortiz is a steroid using cheater who gets a pass because he plays for the Red Sox
Posted on 9/7/16 at 2:57 am to Bench McElroy
Maybe he should tell illegal immigrants to stop being rapists and criminals
Posted on 9/7/16 at 6:25 am to Bench McElroy
Well, Ortiz is more than welcome to donate all his millions to Hillary, move his arse back to the DR and live in a shack and be happy. Is he even naturalized now

I just want immigrants to do so LEGALLY. Only a fraction may commit violent crimes but all those who do not follow the legal process are LAWBREAKERS.
