Republican White House frontrunner Donald Trump booted a journalist from a leading Spanish-language channel out of a news conference, telling him to “go back to Univision.”

The incident on Tuesday, involving bilingual anchor Jorge Ramos during a question-and-answer session that was carried live by several US cable networks, marked the latest dramatic twist in the extraordinary 2016 candidacy of the bombastic real estate mogul.

Ramos has clashed with Trump before on the campaign trail, particularly over the issue of immigration and Trump’s plan to deport those who are in the country illegally.

“Excuse me sit down, you weren’t called. Sit down,” Trump said.

“I have the right to ask a question,” Ramos insisted.
