Mexico may pull out of Miss Universe pageant because of Donald Trump's comments
Fox News Latino ^ | 23 JUN 2015

The woman in charge of the organization that chooses Miss Mexico said she is considering pulling the country from the Miss Universe pageant because of Donald Trump's controversial comments last week.

Former Miss Universe Lupita Jones, who became the first Mexican to win the crown in 1991, said on Twitter that she is concerned about her country’s participation in the annual competition after the presidential candidate said during his campaign launch that Mexico doesn't send its best to the U.S., instead the country sends drugs, crime and rapists. Jones is national director of Nuestra Belleza Mexico, which chooses its country's Miss Universe representative.

“Following the first statements made by Donald Trump, where he openly showed his enmity with Mexico… I got in touch with the organization’s president Paula Shugart to find out their position on Mexico’s representative,” Jones wrote in Spanish.

Sorry Lupita Jones, though I’m not a fan of Donald Trump I don’t take exception to a word he said.

Who cares? (1) Does anyone watch this? And pardon me, (2) I have yet to see a Mexican worth looking at unless you were seriously drunk.

I demand that the cable TV companies remove all of the Spanish language channels from their lineup.

We fought a war with Mexico and they lost. They killed Americans. My people were oppressed by the Mexican government.

It’s time we got rid of any symbol, like language, of Mexico.

Good. Maybe her life won’t be snuffed out by a Mexican drug cartel.

Seriously shaking my head at some of the deranged opinions one reads on the Internets...

They can take their flag with them. And they can send their poor, uneducated and drugs to Spain instead of the US.

She's putting pressure on the Trump organization so Miss Mexico has better odds of winning.

Mexican extortion. What a shock.

Jones has not said if Wendy Esparza, the 23-year-old journalist set to represent Mexico later this year, will be removed from the competition, but she would seriously considering doing so if she feels the beauty queen will be denigrated during the competition.

Is she coming in legally?

No problem.
