Latino advocacy groups, joined by Hollywood celebrities and others, are calling on NBC to disinvite Trump from his Nov. 7 appearance, citing inflammatory remarks Trump made about Mexican immigrants in the speech announcing his White House run in June.

They’re worried that Trump will deliver his lines fluidly, unlike Hillary who stared like a zombie into the telapromter and read what she saw in monotone.

They are about to find out what the media is learning the hard way, every time someone attacks Trump his #s go up. Even if nbc cancels him....don’t think it’ll do anything but help.

They will set him up with unfunny stuff to make him look bad. NBC is part of the evil empire. The last time he did it was hilarious but I feel now they will get marching orders to make him look bad..hope I’m wrong

I’m expecting them to cancel. Too much pressure from their closest allies on the left, and from Hollywood.

Time for these people to decide if they are Americans or ?????

If they are so obsessed with being "Latinos" instead of Americans lets send their arses back to Latino-World.

What idiots. Trump has NOTHING against Hispanics or Latinos or Mexicans. He wants to stop illegal immigration. That’s all.

I think Americans should gather together and form a “group” so we can lobby for our preferences.

We did in the last election, but it somehow doesn’t count for anything.

It is the largest group in the country that has been disenfranchised, discriminated against, vilified, demonized, taunted, hated, ignored, and that is just by the elected Republicans.
