Roselyn Sanchez Bows Out as Miss USA Co-Host After Donald Trump's Anti-Immigrant Speech

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/miss-usa-donald-trump-roselyn-805195?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=hollywoodreporter_breakingnews&utm_campaign=THR%20Breaking%20News_now_2015-06-25%2013%3A01%3A10_emcdermott

Roselyn Sanchez, the Puerto Rican singer/actress and star of Lifetime’s Devious Maids, has bowed out as co-host of the Miss USA pageant, citing Donald Trump’s comments in his June 16 presidential-bid speech.

"I was very excited and proud to have been invited to participate in Miss USA, but as a Latina, that is now inconceivable,” Sanchez said in a statement. “Although I am not Mexican, I am Puerto Rican and a proud Latina, and his comments were an insult to our culture. I won't sponsor anything produced by Donald Trump.”

Sanchez was slated to co-host the Spanish-language simulcast of Miss USA alongside actor Cristian De La Fuente, who also pulled out.

So sad Donald

well, supposing just didn't cut it. Assholes with lots of money are completley tone deaf. They think they are gods and their words are like diamonds which sparkle so brightly everyone is mesermized. They think that, but it just ain't so.

Do all those golfers and condo dwellers and hotel/casino owners and customers really want to be associated with the name of a racist supporter of the Dixie Swastika?

I was really REALLY looking forward to seeing the Donald in the debates.

Hopefully he will make it to at least one or two before he completely crashes and burns
