1. Mexican / American Journalist: Jorge Ramos
The Emmy Award winning Spanish language journalist asked Donald Trump about his deportation laws at a press event, standing his ground on Trump’s ignorant ways till he was escorted out of the room. Upon a reporter asking if Trump becomes president, will non-white reporters be kicked out of the White House Briefing Room? Jorge Ramos answered, “Well, we don’t know. That’s exactly what he did to me. And he acted in an incredibly authoritarian way. That’s exactly what he did. And that’s dangerous for press freedom in the United States”.
