The continuing blowback to Donald Trump’s comments that Mexicans are “rapists” and “drug dealers,” among other things, has grown to proportions Trump himself may not have anticipated, with pressure from Latino groups coming on very strong.
Soon after his remarks, which Trump made in announcing his presidential campaign, Univision Communications said it was canceling its broadcast of the Miss USA pageant, of which the Trump Organization is a joint owner with NBCUniversal.
Last Thursday, NBCUniversal initially distanced itself from Trump who is not only a business partner but also one of the network’s top reality stars but mounting pressure over the weekend from a coalition of Hispanic groups forced NBC to officially sever all ties with Trump.
