Univision crews were ordered to leave Donald Trump’s campaign event at the Trump National Doral hotel in Florida on Friday. Univision said crews from both the network and local affiliate were asked to leave Trump’s event, according to Doral’s Local 10 News. The station was reportedly cleared to cover the event, but crew members were told upon arrival by someone who appeared to be an off-duty police officer that they were not allowed on the property, which is owned by Trump, according to Local 10 News.
The event at the Trump National Doral is being held near Univision’s South Florida headquarters. Univision has battled publicly with Trump, the leading candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, since July when it pulled out of broadcasting the Trump-owned Miss USA beauty pageant because of Trump’s disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants. Trump filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision for backing out of the five-year contract to carry the Miss Universe francise. That lawsuit was the reason the Univision crews were turned away from the campaign rally, according to Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks.
“Mr. Trump is suing Univision for $500 million and until that is resolved it is a conflict of interest,” she said. Hours before the event, pro-immigration organizations and members of the South Florida Hispanic community showed up to protest. Friday’s incident comes after Univision anchor Jorge Ramos was thrown out of another Trump event in August when he tried to ask the presidential hopeful a question. Ramos tweeted about Univision being booted out of Trump’s Friday event, writing, “Journalists from Univision were not allowed to cover a Donald Trump political event today in Doral, Florida.”

Ha ha.
Leni
Ha ha!
Settle the lawsuit. Pay Trump Huuuuuuge amounts and then get lost losers
BALLS.
BIG BALLS.
Exactly what we need.
Republicans don’t punish their enemies enough. Trump will.
Toughey Toenailes???
The MSM will be outraged. Good. More publicity for Trump.
This is one thing I like about Trump. He meant it when he went after Univision. Good for you Trump! LOL
Why were “Pro-Immigration” groups there. Trump is not against immigration. He is against “Illegal Immigration.” Do they not understand the difference?
Further, I do not want to click on Variety. They mention Ramos being thrown out of a Trump event. I’m betting they “forgot” to mention Trump let him back in and he let him spout off and rudely interrupt.
But this can’t be. I thought Republicans were supposed to work with leftists?
Thank you for this post!
I like this. It’s the FU school of politics.
:)
You are welcome.
Leftists/MSM/Mohammadans = perpetually outraged.
Well, Allrighty Then!
“Someone who appeared to be an off duty PO”???
Don’t you think that if they had passes and had lugged all their gear over there they would want to know who in the Trump organisation was denying them access??
Wouldn’t they have made some attempt to contact a higher-up?
Surely they must have the guy who booted them on video.
More to this story.
Thanks for the post. Every time Trump stands up to the scumbags I’m convinced once more that I’m betting on the right horse.
