PENSACOLA, Florida -- Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Wednesday he's proud of kicking one of the country's best-known Spanish-language journalists out of an Iowa news conference.
"I think I handled that well. I got a lot of credit for it," Trump boasted to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham a day after his bodyguards escorted Univision's Jorge Ramos out of the event.
The latest spat for Trump comes as his rivals continue to grapple with how best to compete against the unpredictable billionaire businessman.
At an event Wednesday in Pensacola, Florida, former Florida governor Jeb Bush sighed when a member of the town hall audience uttered Trump's name.
"Do we have to talk about this guy?" Bush asked.
Ramos later was allowed back into Trump's news conference, and they resumed their argument over his immigrations proposals, interrupting each other during an extended back-and-forth.
