The Congressional Hispanic Caucus condemned NBCUniversal for inviting GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump to guest host the Nov. 7 episode of “Saturday Night Live.”
Two-thirds of the CHC’s 26 members voted in favor of issuing a statement Monday asking NBCUniversal to rescind Trump's invitation to host “SNL,” arguing that it would legitimize his characterization of immigrants as “rapists” who are “bringing drugs” and “crime” to the U.S.
"His racist remarks and his continued rhetoric demonizing Latinos and immigrants has created fear within these communities across the country," the statement says.
"The Congressional Hispanic Caucus calls upon NBCUniversal, Broadway Video, and SNL Executive Producer Lorne Michaels to disinvite Mr. Trump from hosting Saturday Night Live because racism is not funny."
NBCUniversal declined to comment on the CHC statement.
Recently, the network severed business ties with Trump in June after his controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants, dropping the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants that the company had co-owned with Trump.
