Miami-Dade Commissioner calls for County-wide Trump Ban

In the epic battle between Univision and Donald Trump, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava wants the county to officially take sides. She has introduced a resolution that would forbid the county from holding any officially sanctioned event at any Trump property in Miami-Dade.

The fiasco began when Trump claimed in his presidential announcement speech that most Mexican immigrants were criminals and "rapists," with only some, he assumes, being "good people." Univision took offense to the comments and refused to air the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants (which are both are co-owned by Trump). Trump responded with a lawsuit, a ban of Univision employees from the Trump National Doral Miami resort, claims that the network was bowing to the Mexican government, and publicly tweeting Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos' cell phone number.

More republican Mexican hate, so as to not offend all the other Hispanic groups the republicans court.

A neighboring country for craps sake! Here we go, republicans and their hobbits ramp up another 'race (and class) war' through one of their 'presidential contenders.'
