Univision Ends Miss Universe Deal After Trump’s Immigration Comments
Variety ^ | 06/25/2015 | Whitney Friedlander

Univision has ended its partnership with the Miss Universe Organization after Donald Trump, the organization’s part owner, made what Univision has deemed to be incendiary remarks against Mexican immigrants when he announced his campaign for presidency earlier this month.

“Today, the entertainment division of Univision Communications Inc. announced that it is ending the Company’s business relationship with the Miss Universe Organization, which is part-owned by Donald J. Trump, based on his recent, insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants,” the company said. “At Univision, we see first-hand the work ethic, love for family, strong religious values and the important role Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans have had and will continue to have in building the future of our country. We will not be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12th or working on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization.”

The statement did say that Univision News and its local news division “will continue to provide comprehensive coverage of all candidates, including Mr. Trump, to ensure our audience continues to have access to all points of view.”

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump Univision wants to back out of signed @MissUniverse contract because I exposed the terrible trade deals that the U.S. makes with Mexico.

Isn't that sweet? They aren't going to censor everything quite as carefully as the English language enemedia.

This is great we are going to learn a lot about Trump in the next few weeks. If he supports middle-class America he will need to “pop off” regarding SCOTUSCARE. If this tyranny keeps the hell up we may get to see a fully charged right-winger in the Donald.

If this guy weren't such a narcissistic mercenary I think I'd actually vote for him. Pity he can't be trusted to do what's right, for the sake of doing what's right. I already voted for a guy like that in the form of Jorge Busho and vowed never again.

Still, I like the way he thinks.

At Univision, we see first-hand the work ethic, love for family, strong religious values and the important role Mexican immigrants... But what Univision doesn’t see or acknowledge is that illegals flout our laws and do not value our laws by coming here illegally. With that start, they do not add to our countries values.

Should Trump have said that Mexico sends the cream of their population to cross the meaningless US border?

So Mexican immigrants to the US are not rapists and low-lives? They're actually wonderful people? Then how come Mexico doesn't want to keep them?

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.

If Trump becomes president I hope that the first thing he does is cut all funding from LARAZA.
