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

Hello!
I have been here; just mostly lurking.
:)
If SNL is smart, they’ll salt the audience with their own cast members as fake protesters and turn the whole thing into a joke.
Hear that some group is offering 5K to anyone who shouts racist from the audience.
Trump should lead them in shouting racist then tell them all to try to collect.
Well!
YOU “might” at least think about writing a HELLO in FR mail “now and then”!!!
I, for one, would like to know that you’re all right and what you’re up to!!
XOXOXO
Hell NBC would air a homosexual soap opera called “The Dykes”...a heart-rending saga about a woman hopelessly in love with her husband’s mistress...if they thought they could win the time slot!
But hey atleast they have Trump! as a lead-in to Howard Beale

LOL! He’s got the right attitude. Fling it right back at them ;)
I heard a rumor that the show is being done at a remote location ahead of time.
... and The Donald takes a bump in the polls. This interminable primary season is the finale of Celebrity Apprentice.
Well done!
“Hoping that NBC knuckles under at the last minute and dumps Trump.”
How come?
“Trump should lead them in shouting racist then tell them all to try to collect.”
I like the way you think!
Ben Carson says that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are doing security for Donald as a favor to him.
“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?”
One can only conclude that he/she supports illegal immigration.
Any of them here illegally should be deported to their native hole.
And make sure they can't vote if they are here illegally on our dime as well.
OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT!
AND STAY OUT!!!
There is now a counterdemonstration planned.
Levin is in NYC....he should announce he is going to go on a tirade, like he did about Carson on last nights show, to counter-demonstrate this. He’d attract a YUGE crowd to join him.
Big net negative for NBC and associated hangers-on.
Big net positive for Trump.
After Trump is elected Mexico will be forced to become a real country and become civilized. Mexicans should get down on the knees and bow to Trump.....
Folks....all ya all gotta do is simply tune in to watch “The Donald” on SNL, tonight. The “legal” American Hispanics should put a stop to these Obamabot morons, destroying all Hispanics here in the USA. There are millions of loyal, legal, patriotic, Hispanics across the country. They need to raise their voices, and shut these idiots up!!! Tune in to “The Donald” tonight on SNL, 11;30 PM east coast time!!!
