Calling Trump remarks ‘bigoted, sexist & ignorant,’ Miami Latin Builders move gala from Trump resort
The Miami Herald's Elections 2016 ^ | August 28, 2015 | Patricia Mazzei

Miami’s Latin Builders Association, which bills itself as the nation’s largest Hispanic construction trade group, has dumped Donald Trump over his strident remarks on immigration.

The LBA planned to hold its biennial gala for its new president at the Trump National Doral resort in November. The group gave the hotel notice Thursday that it is rescinding its contract.

“Most regrettably, Mr. Trump’s recent pattern of bigoted, sexist and ignorant verbal assaults on immigrants, women and veterans have made hosting the installation gala at the resort unfeasible,” LBA Executive Director Melissa Tapanes Llahues told members at a luncheon at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.

“It is unfortunate that such a majestic location is now inextricably associated with someone who is simply antithetical and repugnant to the LBA’s legacy and mission.”(continued)

I wonder how much it will cost the Latinos for that little temper tantrum? The Donald doesn’t sign contracts like that without cancellation penalties.

“I smell Bush.”

Much more than Bush.

You smell the aroma of arrogance with a hint of pomposity, a bit of stinking La Raza strategy, some goosestepping with a big slice of delusions of superiority and a large dose of stupidity and ignorance thrown into the mix.

IMHO

Largest Latin construction group? I thought they were the only construction group.

Seems like the Miami Latin Builders Association is discriminatory by definition.

Some nerve to be calling the Donald out when you exhibit worse behavior.

And Mr. Trump thanks you for forfeiting your deposit.

I hope these people really believe in what they’re doing. Not getting so much press these days for stupid moves.

Awesome!

Trump gets to keep their deposit, and sell the room again.

A win-win for Trump.

I have to conclude that there aren't any real American Citizens in the Miami Latin Builders Association.

Univision Jorges without the suit....
