Protesters Target Trump’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ Show

Activists plan to protest Donald Trump’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend and are calling cast members of the NBC show to condemn his hardline stance against illegal immigration and past statements made against Mexicans.

In a call with reporters Friday, activists accused the Republican presidential candidate of using racist language and said that NBC had no business giving him the free airtime. In his speech announcing his candidacy back in June, Mr. Trump said that Mexico sends immigrants to the U.S. who are “bringing drugs” and are “rapists.”

“He doesn’t deserve an additional 90-minute campaign ad,” said Justin Krebs of the liberal group Move On, which collected 150,000 signatures on a petition against Mr. Trump’s appearance.

Mr. Trump brushed off the criticisms earlier this week and said that his appearance will help drive record ratings to the show.

“Look, I think they should demonstrate,” Mr. Trump said during a press conference to announce his new book Tuesday. “Ratings will go even higher than they are going to be. It’s going to be one of their highest-rated shows ever and they’re very excited about it.”

A NBC spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.

Protesters have recruited a number of Hispanic celebrities to their cause, including actor John Leguizamo and author Junot Diaz. Activists intend to rally in front of Trump Towers Saturday evening before marching over to NBC several blocks away. They also wrote an open letter to cast members urging them to speak out......................LOL!!!

It's been a good week:

First the disgusting video by the anchor b@stards ...
Then the new "bill of demands" by the illegal mexicans ...
Now Trump's appearance tonight on SNL (not that either of the foregoing will -- or should -- be mentioned).

"Hoping that NBC knuckles under at the last minute and dumps Trump."

Why? Do you have some kind of death wish that will be satisfied if Hillary is elected?

[SevenofNine]

No the SNL ratings are down for last few years they not cancel

[uncitizen]

Trumps security (secret service) knows how to handle this. I doubt these trouble makers will even get in the door.

[A CA Guy]

They will probably record live early and edit any intrusion.

[DoughtyOne]

I know what you mean.

"Criminal foreign invaders who should be deported but are not thanks to the treasonous pukes we have running the countryActivists plan to protest Donald Trumps appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend."

Corrected.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

John Leguizamo grew up in New York city and he damn well knows how illegals have absolutely devastated construction jobs in that city. What a slimeball. Too bad illegals can’t take his acting jobs, see how he likes it.

[Lazamataz]

Who cares what a bunch of drug-addled Tequila-chuggin asparagus-pickin raping lazy siesta-taking wetbacks have to say about racist language?

[McGruff]

The NYPD better be out in force. If someone gets hurt it’s gonna be a black eye for NY City. CNN and others will be there.
