Liberals are peeved at Univision for offering Trump a platform: ‘A major meltdown’

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 as well," Bonilla told Fox News Digital.

The saga began earlier this month when Univision aired an interview journalist Enrique Acevedo conducted with Trump from Mar-a-Lago. It was Trump’s first time speaking to America’s largest Spanish-language network since he famously kicked Univision anchor Jorge Ramos out of a 2015 campaign event.

Bonilla explained that Univision was largely seen as anti-Trump, liberal programming from 2015 when Trump sparred with Ramos through the duration of his presidency. But in 2021, when Mexican media company Televisa acquired control of Univision, new leadership attempted to straighten things out.

"They came in and saw that Univision was, in fact, this Democrat toilet, this Democrat talking point repository. And they were horrified, so they've been trying to bring in some balance into the equation," Bonilla said.

They are becoming unhinged as Biden fades with Trump now up over 2 points in the average polls (he lost the national vote in 2016 by 2)

LEFTIST, nor liberal. Liberalism is the word they gave themselves to make people believe they are more considerate of others, more open. Leftists want to crush all dissent.

“ Liberalism is the word they gave themselves to make people believe they are more considerate of others, more open.”

RINO’s are liberals. Every thing to the left of that is Communist.

Leguizamo took to social media and said, "I am asking all my brothers and sisters who are actors, artists, politicians, activists to not go on Univision

Yes! By all means, all you liberals, stay away and leave Univision to the Republicans!

Only through silencing other opinions, arresting all political opponents and stuffing ballot boxes like a Thanksgiving ostrich can the Democrats save democracy.
