Reporters agreed that the theater of seeing Donald Trump kick Univision’s Jorge Ramos out of a press conference, followed by Ramos’ re-admittance and subsequent debate with Trump over deportation made for the most entertaining presser of the campaign season yet.
So who won this clash of giants? Michelle Malkin has some exclusive video for review.

@michellemalkin @AG_Conservative Trump v Ramos? Agreed

Ramos won, obviously, by striking a blow for both immigrants and freedom of the press … right?

Look, I am an avowed 'Trump hater', but in this kerfluffle…Ramos was the absurd, ill behaved troll…not Trump.

The notion that Jorge Ramos somehow controls my vote & that of my friends is more profoundly offensive than anyone else's rhetoric

Seriously, y'all in media need to suppress your urge to make Jorge Ramos into a Rosa Parks-like figure of brave resistance.

It would take an almost-unimaginably Herculean effort to make me side with Donald Trump today. So I have to give @jorgeramosnews that much.

Congratulations, @jorgeramosnews. You're such a huge asshole, you made even Donald Trump look good.

Look, @jorgeramosnews, I get it. You're pissed off. But you don't get to be in a place just because you want to be. That's kinda the point.

Ramos is an activist and was essentially heckling Trump without getting called on. Getting ill with him was defensible, if inadvisable…

So when a reporter yells a question at President Obama, he's a racist; when a reporter does the same to Trump, Trump's a racist. #leftlogic

Make no mistake: Jorge Ramos staged Trump contretemps to be expelled. Not called on, refused to sit down. Unprofessional, he didn't care.

And dammit you people KNOW how much I bodily loathe the idea of defending Donald Trump. But let's not play make-believe here.

Y'all know last week Ramos called Trump "the loudest voice of intolerance, hatred and division in the United States", right?

Media continues to think there is Green Kryptonite for @realDonaldTrump.

And Donald Trump?

Ramos traveled to Iowa to question Trump; he & his team weren't sure he'd be allowed into the press conference at all http://t.co/TApHbvof6h
