San Antonio judge tells new citizens to 'go to another country' if they don't like Trump

Hundreds of immigrants filed into the Institute of Texan Cultures last week to end a years-long wait to become U.S. citizens. But before their naturalization ceremony was over, they had to listen to a lecture from a San Antonio federal judge about President-elect Donald Trump.

"I can assure you that whether you voted for him or you did not vote for him, if you are a citizen of the United States, he is your president," Judge John Primomo said during a naturalization ceremony Thursday. "He will be your president and if you do not like that, you need to go to another country."

Primomo condemned anti-Trump demonstrators and football players who kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality, according to KENS-TV.

"I detest that, because you can protest things that happen in this country; you have every right to," Primomo said, according to the station. "You don't do that by offending national symbols like the national anthem and the flag of the United States."
