NBC CUTS TIES With Donald Trump Over Mexican Comments

Donald Trump is looking for a new network after NBC announced they intend to officially sever ties with the popular billionaire.

A petition demanding NBC fire The Donald has garnered more than 200,000 signatures. NBC released the following statement:

“At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values,” the network said. “Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump. To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC. In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in ‘The Apprentice’ on NBC.” h/t pix11

Among his remarks, the GOP hopeful said immigrants from Mexico are “bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people.”
