In a rare display of bipartisan harmony, Democrats and Republicans joined together Monday in rejecting Donald Trump's comments about the ethnicity of a judge overseeing a class action suit against his shuttered university.

Members of both parties derided the brash billionaire for his racist remarks on how U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who is presiding over an enormous fraud class action in a federal court in San Diego against Trump University — wouldn't be fair in the case due to his "Mexican heritage."

At a rally outside Trump Tower, in Midtown, more than 50 people, led by New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, rallied in calling for the temperamental tycoon to take back his claims about Curiel.
