\n\tMIAMI: Univision Communications is cutting its ties with the Miss Universe Organization following recent comments by Donald Trump about Mexican immigrants that the media company calls “insulting remarks.”<\/p>\n
\n\tTrump, who is part-owner of the organization behind the annual beauty pageant, said while announcing his presidential candidacy on June 16 that he would raise a wall along the U.S. border to keep out Mexican “rapists” and drug dealers.<\/p>\n
\n\t“At Univision, we see first-hand the work ethic, love for family, strong religious values and the important role Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans have had and will continue to have in building the future of our country,” said a statement from Univision. “We will not be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12 or working on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization.”<\/p>\n
\n\tHowever, the major media group did say its news division would cover Trump’s bid for the White House “to ensure our audience continues to have access to all points of view.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
