Just days before Univision announced it would host a Republican debate, one of its top executives likened a Republican candidate to alleged mass murderer Dylann Storm Roof.
Alberto Ciurana, Univision’s president of programming and content, made a post on his official Instagram account last week that appeared to indicate that there were similarities between Trump and Roof, who last week killed nine people in a shooting at a church in Charleston, S.C.
The since-deleted Instagram post received hundreds of likes from Ciurana’s 116,000 followers on the site. It also received backlash.
“With all due respect, what happened last night is not a joke,” commented Patty Rodriguez, senior producer of radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest. “This is very irresponsible of you.”
Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump, called Ciurana’s post “totally insensitive” and said that Ciurana should resign.
“There are no words to describe despicable and horrific decision to place Mr. Trump beside this racist murderer,” said Cohen. “It was a totally insensitive act and I would call for his immediate resignation from Univision.”
A spokesman for Univision did not respond to an inquiry asking whether the network agrees with the comparison.
Univision announced Thursday it would be cutting ties with the Miss Universe Organization because it is partially owned by Trump. Ciurana posted the reasoning for the network’s decision, using his Twitter account to say Trump’s comments on Mexican immigrants were the cause for the decision.

Hey Al, up yours! ‘Nuff said.
Trump is more like a clown but seems like this would be slander, and actionable in a court.
So I’ll go one up... I equate Alberto Ciurana to a Zeta cartel hitman.
US citizens are mad as *ell. And some Mexican elitist objects to Trump saying that Mexico sends the worst of their population to the US?
I want Trump to have high numbers. It's fun to see how desperate the puppet masters have become.
You read this and call Trump a clown?
Very clever.
I don’t like Trump, but this is just another instance of the old liberal dirty slander of “if you don’t agree with me, you are a Nazi.”
Trumnp is a clown but he’s not a murderer. I’d wager Univision is going to be looking for a new President.
I really don’t care what any Mexican twit has to say about anything in America. To hell with him and his crappy country.
The Purveyors of Hate and Discontent really feel empowered, don’t they?
Trumps power is in acting as a drumbeater to flush out the leftist Commie hate elite for what they are! This is so over the top any rational person must see what they are doing—next you will see pictures of Hitler next to Trump. If you like Adolph, your going to love Donard. Stuff like that. Trump has done more to energize the GOP in two weeks than all the rest of the contenders in two months! Even—sad to say—Ted Cruz. They better start hitting hard or they will be also rans.
Trump was just on Fox, Gretchen Carlson’s show, and said he will sue Univision for breach of contract and they will owe him millions, as it was a 5 year contract. He also said some bigwig at Univision has called him to apologize. Univision is in deep doodoo with The Donald. You cross him at your own peril.
“Alberto Ciurana:
This is all you need to know. He’s probably La Raza.
Great way to fund his campaign. Talk even louder...love it!
perhaps corporations should treat la raza as politically toxic.
Consider this, it is very bill ayers to ridicule trump.
With trump’s take no prisoners reaction to this, nobody at Univision is laughing. We can judge Trump by what he does not what he says.
Univesion is hosting a debate? Who else will have it — Logo?
Trump not going to take much poop pooh this election.
“Trump’s comments on Mexican immigrants “
Mexicans are hypocrites mas grande: Mexico doesn’t tolerate “immigrants”.
Fire this culo.
