Trump campaign says Univision is 'Leftist propaganda'
President Trump's campaign on Wednesday called the Spanish-language news network Univision “a Leftist Propaganda Machine.”
“Univision is not a news network; it is a leftist propaganda machine and a mouthpiece of the Democrat Party,” a statement from the campaign reads. “We will treat them accordingly.” The campaign has previously accused the Spanish-language TV network of “trashing” Mount Rushmore by describing his speech there last weekend as divisive.
The renewed attack comes after Univision hosted a forum where panelists recommended books on Latin American history, which included “The open veins of Latin America,” a book written by Eduardo Galeano that describes the economic exploitation of Latin America by Europe and the U.S.
The Trump campaign, which has made disparaging remarks about Mexican and Central American immigrants, said Univision is helping the Democrats by hiding "the truth about the Democrat Party's radicalism from its viewers because it knows it will alienate Hispanic voters. They think they can get away with their left-wing political activism posing as journalism because they are a Spanish-language network and believe no one will notice their dishonesty," the campaign said.
It is not the first time Trump has clashed with Univision. In 2015, one of the network's anchors, Jorge Ramos, was escorted out of a Trump campaign conference while asking a question.
(As I recall he was told to go back to where you came from)
