JOSE FUENTES-AGOSTINI, TRUMP CAMPAIGN HISPANIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE: … If what you understood from that comment is that the 35 million Mexicans that are in this country are all criminals, then you made a mistake. You understood it erroneously…

JORGE RAMOS, ANCHOR, UNIVISION: No, it’s not what I understood, it’s what he said…

JOSE FUENTES-AGOSTINI, TRUMP CAMPAIGN HISPANIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Mr. Trump is not… no… no…

JORGE RAMOS, ANCHOR, UNIVISION: He [Trump] said that Mexican immigrants are rapists and criminals.

JOSE FUENTES-AGOSTINI, TRUMP CAMPAIGN HISPANIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE: He clarified his statement, very clearly, and he said that there are 150,000, give or take, criminals in this country that have to be taken out of the country. That’s what he was referring to.

JORGE RAMOS, ANCHOR, UNIVISION: But that’s… that’s not what he said on June 16. That’s not what he said on June 16.

JOSE FUENTES-AGOSTINI, TRUMP CAMPAIGN HISPANIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE: He said clearly… yes, he did, he said clearly. That if he had offended somebody, that if he had offended somebody with that comment that he would walk it back. So I think that on that subject, it’s extremely clear.

JORGE RAMOS, ANCHOR, UNIVISION: Donald Trump has never apologized, Mr. Fuentes. He’s never apologized for these racist terms he’s said.

JOSE FUENTES-AGOSTINI, TRUMP CAMPAIGN HISPANIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE: He said that if he had… no, he said clearly that if he had offended anybody, that he walked the comment back.
