During an appearance on CNN on Monday, former Univision anchor Maria Elena Salinas expressed her disapproval of the Trump administration for its handling of deportations in California. While making her point, she told “NewsNight” viewers that California was once part of Mexico, adding that all of the Southwest was “Mexico.”

Members of the audience at a town hall glowered as former President Donald Trump described January 6 as a 'day of love' and tried to minimize the seriousness of the violent clash at the Capitol. Questioner Ramiro Gonzalez, a Republican construction worker from Tampa, said he wanted to give Trump 'the opportunity to try and win back my vote,' then issued a series of blunt statements during the Univision town hall this week... The Kamala Harris campaign later posted about it on X, in a post that zooms in on the puzzled expressions of audience members during the broadcast by...

Last night’s Univision “town hall” with Kamala Harris was billed as an exciting opportunity for “undecided Latino voters” to question and evaluate the potential next President of the United States. The corporate press release from Univision advertises it explicitly as such: But viewers at home would have been wholly unaware that this billing was false. As I discovered, having been granted the sacred opportunity to view the event from an adjacent room on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the carefully curated “town hall” audience was actually comprised of avowed Harris supporters. “I already knew I was going to...

Vice President Kamala Harris debuted a Spanish accent on Thursday during a Univision town hall event, taking a break from the fake southern accent she sometimes uses. The accents raise concerns about Harris’s sincerity. Voters are often attuned to inauthentic politicians. “First of all, thank you for the question, and I hope your family is okay and your home is okay,” putting a Spanish drawl on the words “okay.” Critics on X immediately ripped Harris for the new accent, including Andy Ngo, Greg Price, and the MAGA War Room: It is not the first time Harris used a fake accent...

The moderator of Thursday night’s Univision town hall with Kamala Harris is pushing back on claims that she used a Teleprompter at the event. Figures such as Sean Hannity and Bill Ackman have advanced the claim, even though the Teleprompter text was written in Spanish. Enrique Acevedo, the moderator, wrote on X on Thursday evening, “The prompter displayed my introduction (in Spanish) and then it switched to a timer. Any claim to the contrary is simply untrue.” Daniel Coronell, president of Univision News, also posted, “The teleprompter that displays a text written in Spanish was a support element for the...

During a town hall event broadcast by the Spanish-language network Univision, Kamala Harris faced accusations of using a teleprompter, sparking criticism over the supposed “impromptu” nature of the event. The town hall, held in Las Vegas and aimed at undecided Latino voters, was meant to be an unscripted opportunity for voters to engage directly with Harris and hear her candid responses to questions.

Kamala Harris got caught using a teleprompter during Thursday night’s Univision town hall in Las Vegas. Harris pandered to Latina voters by participating in a town hall hosted by Univision. The internal polls for Harris must be horrific. Of course, Kamala Harris had to use a teleprompter because she has no clue what she’s talking about. Univision panicked after they realized they showed Kamala Harris’s teleprompter live on air. As soon as the camera panned behind Kamala Harris, the teleprompter went black. But it was too late.

During a Univision town hall on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down on furthering the ongoing invasion at the U.S. southern border if elected president this November.The moment came when a prospective voter questioned Harris about what she would do to support noncitizens who have resided in the United States “for years.” The Democrat nominee bragged about how “the first” piece of legislation the Biden-Harris administration sent to Congress was a bill that, among many things, sought to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants within the country.

A deputy press secretary for Barack Obama's reelection campaign married an ABC reporter over the weekend. The ABC reporter, Matthew Jaffe, "covering the 2012 presidential campaign," according to his biography on the website of ABC News. "For the past year he traveled around the country covering the Republican primary, from the Iowa Straw Poll to the various debates to this year's primaries and caucuses." The deputy press secretary Jaffe married is Katie Hogan. Many members of Obama's reelection team and the press celebrated the wedding together Saturday. Mike Allen of Politico reports on the wedding: MARRIED SATURDAY EVENING at Lake...

Veteran Univision anchor Jorge Ramos blasted his network Saturday for hosting an interview with former President Donald Trump, charging it created “discomfort and uncertainty within the newsroom.” Ramos voiced his displeasure in an interview with fellow journalist Enrique Acevedo, saying the Trump interview “put in doubt the independence of our news department, and created discomfort and uncertainty within the newsroom.” “We cannot normalize behavior that threatens democracy and the Hispanic community, or offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories,” Ramos said. “We must question and fact-check everything he says and does. That’s why it is...

Everyone from the ladies on ABC’s "The View" to actor John Leguizamo to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are peeved at Univision over a recent interview with former President Trump. But Media Research Center news analyst Jorge Bonilla felt the interview was "totally normal," and the Spanish-language network is only taking heat because it’s usually a "reliable left-wing depository of Democrat talking points" and they simply cannot handle giving Trump a platform. "What you're seeing right now is a major meltdown, mostly on the left, from operators of the Democratic Party, members of the media and members of the celebrity class...

Former President Donald Trump is gaining momentum among Hispanic voters, according to a recent Univisión poll, which claims to be the largest Hispanic bipartisan primary public polling of the 2024 election cycle so far. Among Hispanic Republicans, Trump maintains a strong lead, with 50% responding they would vote for him in the GOP primary, the poll found. Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis follows in second place with 12%, and pharmaceutical businessman Vivek Ramaswamy trails behind at 9%. Despite four federal indictments, Trump is dominating among Hispanic voters and stands at 36%, a four-point increase from when he left office in...

The Univisión-Televisa conglomerate has made a deal with a left-wing coalition financed in part by George Soros to purchase 18 Spanish-language radio stations around the country, reports revealed this week – including historic anti-communist Miami station Radio Mambí. The purchase, which still requires FCC approval, is an attempt to stem the tide of Hispanic-Americans voting for Republicans based on cultural conservative values and a growing disdain for the failed presidency of Joe Biden – or, as one of the executives in charge of the purchase described it, to combat “disinformation.” If approved, the deal would put the 18 radio stations...

But will “Radio Soros” be a commercial and political success, though? Hard to tell. The former Univision America launched and folded at a time when Hispanics trusted their media institutions and the sitting Democrat president enjoyed the support of over 70% of Hispanics. This is not that time, and Joe Biden’s Hispanic support is nearly inverted in comparison to that of Barack Obama. Furthermore, “Radio Soros” can’t fill shelves with baby formula, bring gas prices down to $2/gallon, fix the border crisis or reduce crime in the cities. In sum, the move appears to be primarily fueled by panic over...

A question on a new poll released by Univision, surveying Latinos about the upcoming presidential election, asked registered voters if they died from the Wuhan virus.“Over the past few months, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, have you, or someone in your household: Died because of coronavirus?” question 42 asked.According to the question results, 89 percent of people answered that they, in fact, did not die from COVID-19, nor did anyone in their household.In addition to questions about current events and voters’ opinions about the presidential election, the poll also asked voters about their support for or opposition to...

Within the space of one hour, Univision chose to omit mention of a protest (yet again), while giving the Democratic vice-presidential candidate celebrity treatment during a PR stint that included an "unannounced" visit to a Venezuelan restaurant in an effort to attract Latino voters. As you can see from the following video that compares the Telemundo and Univision reports on Harris's trip to South Florida, Telemundo anchor Jose Diaz-Balart did acknowledge that “outside, there were also protesters with pro President Trump posters.” What he did not say was that the group, from Latinos for Trump, was there on behalf of...

Univision broke from its afternoon coronavirus newscast and delivered on a longstanding policy item: opposition to the Second Amendment and to the private ownership of firearms. But in their coronavirus-themed rant against gun ownership, they also revealed something about themselves. Watch as Univision’s panel rant about a coronavirus-fueled increase in gun sales, and notice how Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Juan Rivera otherizes his fellow citizens: ORGE RAMOS: But as we were saying before going to commercial, something’s going on. Because in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, people’s fears are reflected in different ways. MARIA ANTONIETA COLLINS: Well yeah, some...
