Jorge Ramos, the amnesty activist moonlighting as a Univision and Fusion
journalist, revealed in June that his daughter is an employee of the
Hillary Clinton campaign.
In a statement on the Fusion website, Ramos wrote:
As journalists the most important
thing we have is our credibility and integrity. We maintain that, in
part, through transparency with our audience, our colleagues and our
critics. That is why I am disclosing that my daughter, Paola, has
accepted a position working with Hillary Clinton’s presidential
campaign.
As a father, I am very proud that she
has decided to actively participate in our democratic process. I hope
that more young people get involved, regardless of political parties or
ideological preferences. Our democracy and our future depend on that.
I completely support and respect
Paola’s decision. In our family we have always cherished tolerance,
dialogue and active participation in what you believe.
Like many reporters who have parents,
siblings or other family members that are active in politics, this will
not change how I approach my duty as a journalist. I will continue to
report with complete independence and ask the tough questions, the same
way I have done for the last 30 years.
Ramos was temporarily removed from a press conference being held by
Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump in Iowa yesterday.
As Trump called on a reporter, Ramos stood and began shouting
questions. Trump asked him to sit down, but instead Ramos continued to
interrupt the proceedings. After Ramos was briefly removed from the
room, he returned, only to debate Trump for several minutes, instead of
asking questions and waiting for answers.
As Real Clear Politics reports,
“The two went head to head for five minutes over birthright
citizenship, how Trump would build a wall, how he would deport illegal
immigrants and more. Trump fought back against Ramos and attempted to
get him to acknowledge crime committed by illegal immigrants.”
The revelation certainly casts Ramos’s stunt against Hillary’s chief Republican rival in a new light.
