“We have some bad hombres here and we’re gonna’ get ’em out,” Trump commented when talking about his border security plan.

“Bad Hombres” sounds like a Quentin Tarantino thriller starring Danny Trejo and Josh Brolin. #DebateNight #BadHombres

We have a presidential nominee that doesn’t understand why saying “bad hombres” is offensive. #debatenight

“We have some bad hombres here.”
Can you get more offensive? Are you suggesting all the “bad, bad” people are hispanic? #debatenight
