The White House on Wednesday took a swipe at Donald Trump, suggesting the Republican presidential front-runner can’t handle tough questions about his views on immigration.

Press secretary Josh Earnest weighed in on Trump’s decision late Tuesday to eject Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos from a press conference. Ramos had interrupted Trump with a question about deportations.

“I’m not sure that it’s a successful media strategy to physically remove reporters who are asking tough questions,” Earnest told reporters at the White House.

Turning to a group of press aides, Earnest joked he would need a larger security detail if he followed Trump’s example, “although they are tougher than they look.”

Trump’s exchange with Ramos is the latest example of how the businessman’s position on immigration is roiling the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
