Univision crews were ordered to leave Donald Trump’s campaign event at the Trump National Doral hotel in Florida on Friday. Univision said crews from both the network and local affiliate were asked to leave Trump’s event, according to Doral’s Local 10 News. The station was reportedly cleared to cover the event, but crew members were told upon arrival by someone who appeared to be an off-duty police officer that they were not allowed on the property, which is owned by Trump, according to Local 10 News.
The event at the Trump National Doral is being held near Univision’s South Florida headquarters. Univision has battled publicly with Trump, the leading candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, since July when it pulled out of broadcasting the Trump-owned Miss USA beauty pageant because of Trump’s disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants. Trump filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision for backing out of the five-year contract to carry the Miss Universe francise. That lawsuit was the reason the Univision crews were turned away from the campaign rally, according to Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks.
“Mr. Trump is suing Univision for $500 million and until that is resolved it is a conflict of interest,” she said. Hours before the event, pro-immigration organizations and members of the South Florida Hispanic community showed up to protest. Friday’s incident comes after Univision anchor Jorge Ramos was thrown out of another Trump event in August when he tried to ask the presidential hopeful a question. Ramos tweeted about Univision being booted out of Trump’s Friday event, writing, “Journalists from Univision were not allowed to cover a Donald Trump political event today in Doral, Florida.”

duro shitsky
Love it!
:) Cute.
$500,000,000 es mucho dinero.
It’s also true that it is a conflict of interest to allow a party to a lawsuit to appear to have full access.
It can be argued that that is a peace offering, which can be argued is an acquiescence.
LoL.
I guess Univision’s stinkin’ badges didn’t help!!
TRUE! Didn’t think of that. But I believe Trump is using the lawsuit to his advantage!
I was responding to the article only. You seem to have taken it personal somehow. Nothing was meant to attack you or the fact you posted the article. It was a good post but I don’t always want to click so added my conjecture. It was a worthy post and I’m sorry if my response made it sound otherwise.

Nice NLP work by Variety.
No problem at all. All is good:))
It is like a real life version of Whack A Mole...well except the Democrat media empire are more like cockroaches.
LOL
Perfect!
I heard a rumor that lots of Hollywood peeps are supporting him.
I pray that this “rumor” manifests into real votes! I did hear Trump talk about this early in his campaign. He said many in Hollywood are supporting him but that they don’t want to make their support of him public!
