Trumping the man from Univision

Donald Trump held a press conference preceding his speech in Iowa tonight. Most of it was carried live on FOX News, but FOX joined after the fireworks at the opening of the conference. Taking a leaf from the Black Lives Matter crowd, the man from Univision (Jorge Ramos) inserted himself into the proceedings on his own.

When Trump called on a reporter for the first question, Ramos jumped up and began talking. He refused to sit down. He was escorted out by security, though he was subsequently readmitted. The second time around Trump took his questions and answered them in his fashion. RealClearPolitics has posted that exchange here; it is well worth watching.

The first go-round, at the opening of the press conference, is below. Something’s happening here.
