Trump: Justice Ginsburg ‘Went Wild During the Campaign,’ Sotomayor Should Recuse Herself

‘Her statement was so inappropriate’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Well, it’s very obvious. I always thought that, frankly, that Justice Ginsburg should do it because she went wild during the campaign when I was running. I don’t know who she was for, perhaps she was for Hillary Clinton, if you can believe it. But she said some things that were obviously very inappropriate. She later sort of apologized. I wouldn’t say it was an apology but she sort of apologized. And then Justice Sotomayor said what she said yesterday, you know very well what she said yesterday. It was a big story. And I just don’t know how they cannot recuse themselves from anything having to do with Trump or Trump-related. The right thing to do is that. Now, as a Supreme Court Justice it's a different standard, but at the same time, I think it’s a higher standard in a certain sense. So they will have to decide what to do. But, her statement was so inappropriate. When you are a justice of the Supreme Court, and it’s almost what she is trying to do is take the people that do feel a different way and get them to vote the way that she would like them to vote. I just thought it was so inappropriate, such a terrible statement for a Supreme Court Justice."
