Donald Trump’s Miss USA Pageant Picked Up by Reelz

Donald Trump has found a TV home for his Miss USA beauty pageant with cable network Reelz, after both NBC and Univision Communications bailed on plans to air the program following the mogul’s remarks about Latino immigrants.

The pact is a small victory for Trump, who in the past week has lost his deals with NBC, Univision and Macy’s. The companies cut their ties to the real-estate developer, GOP presidential hopeful and erstwhile TV personality after he called Mexican and other Hispanic immigrants “killers and rapists” who are “bringing crime” into the U.S. in a speech.

Every time he refuses to knuckle under I find myself supporting him more.

Correcting the MSM's lies is a full time job.

Yeah, they’re conflating illegal with immigrant so uniformly I was beginning to think Trump had said the latter.

Many others feel the same way. At this moment Trump is tied for second place in Iowa. It is outrageous when we no longer are allowed to criticize a foreign country and criminals. This is getting worse than in the old Soviet Union.

People are losing their jobs and business are being closed down simply because somebody states the truth or expresses a view that the left does not like. Outrageous.

How is it not knuckling- under when he said illegals are decent and should be allowed to stay?

They’re on Dish, DirecTV, and many cable outlets. I’d never heard of them either. Apparently they run a lot of reality TV shows.

Oh, Reality TV that explains it. A channel catering to sub-80 IQs.

Isn’t this the beauty pageant where the judges trash contestants that are against guy marriage?

I figured that Trump would find a means to put a thumb in the eye of those who, on the record, stated that they were more for diversity, after the kangaroo court ruling about the queers.

For anyone who doesn't get Reelz:

Go to their website. They have a link to Teleivision Fanatic, which streams TV shows, old and relatively new. They're also going to live stream the pageant. Let's make it the most watched pageant on TV EVER!!

Call your cable company. My complaint was that I'd planned to watch the pageant on NBC (or Univision) which they offer, now I can't. I wanted to know why they weren't making an arrangement with reelz to show it on those networks or one of their public service networks.

NUMBERS MATTER !!! We're the people who still have money to spend, the ones whose traditions and way of life are being destroyed. We fight back on the media and by not shopping at places like Amazon that censor our choices.

PS: My final purchase at Amazon. The two-movie set and first season of Dukes of Hazzard. They've moved way up the rankings of what people are buying!!

Do everything you can online, in "comments" sections, by choosing vendors wisely. Millions of people CAN make a difference!

That was the Tuesday Trump said that. The Thursday Trump is anti-illegal. Friday Trump will be something else.
