“Latino Rights PAC Offers $5,000 “Bounty” to Disrupt Trump on NBC’s Saturday Night Live TV Broadcast

[kpete]

There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s appearance as host of Saturday Night Live. His repeated racist remarks towards the Latino community are not only deplorable, but they are remarkably inaccurate. He is, quite literally, running on the fears of certain American voters who are terrified of immigrants.

Well, in response to this reprehensible racism that Donald Trump loves to boast about, the Latino Rights PAC is offering a $5,000 “Bounty” to anyone willing to call out Trump’s racism during this Saturday’s live broadcast of Saturday Night Live.

In a press release from the PAC it states:

“Latino Rights PAC Offers $5,000 “Bounty” to Disrupt Trump on NBC’s Saturday Night Live TV Broadcast

With the description as follows:

“Angered that NBC invited Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to host NBC’s Saturday Night Live November 7th show, democratic FEC registered Latino rights PAC DeportRacism.com has taken the unprecedented move of offering a $5,000 “bounty” to anyone on the show’s set or in the studio audience who will disrupt the live TV broadcast with the words “deport racism” or “Trump is a racist.” The aggressive action comes on the heels of the work of a coalition of mainstream Latino rights groups that are organizing behind the hashtag #RacismIsntFunny having little success convincing NBC that a person who calls Mexican immigrants “rapists,” “drug dealers” and “anchor babies” has no place on the storied stage of the iconic American comedy institution. Details of the “cash for confrontation” offer are spelled out on the group’s website, DeportRacism.com.”

Here’s the criteria to receive the bounty:

1. Be heard clearly on-air during the live TV broadcast saying “Deport Racism” or “Trump is a Racist.”

2. Be identified by name in media (TV, print, radio or online) news reports as being a DeportRacism.com supporter

.

They also state that “if more than one person disrupts SNL and meets the above criteria, the $5,000 offered will be divided equally among them.”

1. What puzzles me

Is since TRump is a candidate wouldn't the others both D and R be entitled to the same free air time? I thought we had laws about this.....

3. The Equal-time rule?

SNL looks exempt, imo.

The Fairness Doctrine is gone.

2. Racism is not funny. It is also not "good" for "our side" that he incites racism

I have seen comments on DU where people hope Trumps keeps up on his racist rants because it is good for Dems
Wonder if NBC will air disruption if it occurs
Live means live with delay usually

4. Very stupid idea.

It won't resonate with anyone who doesn't already agree with them and may even alienate some who might have been "convincible". Never have understood what these disruptions were supposed to accomplish, but to each his/her own.

Equally stupid is making these intentions known in advance so Trump and SNL will have time to prepare responses.
