Video: Dem Rep: Would Trump Be Allowed To Host SNL If He Attacked Gays As He Did Mexicans?

Posted by | October 22, 2015 07:00 | Filed under: Politics


Congressman Luis Gutierrez of Illinois wants to know if NBC would allow Donald Trump to host Saturday Night Live if he’d trashed gays as he did Mexicans.

Gutierrez took to the House floor today to really tear into Saturday Night Live for letting Donald Trump host next month.

He stood next to a giant poster saying #RacismIsntFunny and declared that “when public figures cross certain lines, they should lose their privileges to host TV shows…

“If Donald Trump had said gays or lesbians were murderers and raping Americans, would he get to host the show? It is every bit as much a fiction and a lie. Donald Trump has said some pretty awful things about women individually and collectively. But what if he said most women were criminals? Would the writers be thinking up sketches for Trump if he had slandered an entire gender rather than an entire ethnic group?”

    I’d support Mexicans more if they supported the LGBT more.

    Simply put, he’s right.
    I know he’s not the first to suggest it, but he might get more pronounced airplay about it.

    There should be no room for racism.
