Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos called Donald Trump, a top Republican presidential candidate, "dangerous" in an interview Sunday on ABC News's "This Week."
When questioned by guest host Martha Raddatz about his public tangle with Trump at a news conference in Iowa last week, Ramos was blunt.
RADDATZ: Donald Trump is not backing down. He says he got a lot of credit for the way he handled that. Trump seems to think he benefited from that confrontation. Do you think he benefited among his supporters?
RAMOS: Well, I don't know exactly. But I think it is very important that as journalists, we challenge those who are in power. And I think it is very dangerous that he wants to do the largest mass deportation in modern history, that, by the way, would cost more than $137 billion. And I think it's very dangerous that he's promoting in his speeches bigotry and hatred against immigrants and Latinos.

OP
The headline is just one word Ramos said in a longer sentence and discussion. Over dramatic article.

Though Ramos is dangerously on the mark, in the full context of what he did say, about how very dangerous Trump's perfectly legal in America targetted hate speech against immigrants and Latinos is.
With little to no pushback from the mass media that excuses the massive coverage by saying Trump is the front runner somtheybhace give massive coverage - when it was the massive coverage combined with no push back that made Trump the front runner in the first place.

we will repent in very slow, agonizing, destructive leisure. Because the fallout of a Trump presidency will poison this nation for many years to come.
