Actor John Leguizamo Whines About Univision 'Cozying Up to Trump'


Mike Miller reporting for RedState 

As Donald Trump continues to increase in lead in the polls over Joe Biden, the left continues to come unglued. Such was the case when actor and comedian John Leguizamo stopped by Thursday night's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" to whine to Colbert about Univision's treatment of Trump.

Leguizamo's principal reason for appearing on "The Late Show" was to hype his new MSNBC miniseries, which I've chosen to ignore in this article. Before the hyping began, the actor not only blasted Univision for not bashing Trump but also declared that he would no longer appear on the largest Spanish-speaking network in the U.S. as a result.

As Leguizamo broached the subject, Colbert said:

You also wrote this in the Los Angeles Times recently, this was in November. You wrote this opinion piece there. It says "Cozying up to Trump, Univision is betraying its Spanish-speaking viewers." How so?

Liberals Have a Squeal-Fest Over Univision Interviewing Trump


Leguizamo told Colbert that Univision is "insidious" for not being "impartial."

Well, it's kind of insidious because Spanish-speaking only Latinos watch Univision and that's where they get all their news and information and so, you should be impartial. You should be non-partisan. And they're not. It's problematic to me.

In the TDS-riddled view of the left, "impartial" means blasting Donald Trump at every opportunity while handling Biden with kid gloves. 

After an incredulous Colbert asked Leguizamo if he was suggesting Univision is "right-wing, in some way," the actor continued to cluelessly humiliate himself.

I've spoken off the record with some of the newscasters and they said that they were leaning — they were pushing them right way and they had Trump on and they soft-balled the whole questions. 

They wouldn't allow Biden commercials on and then they didn't have Biden on for a long, long time and so I had to call them out on it. I called them out and their marketing people called me back.

After Colbert asked Leguizamo what the Univision marketing people told him, he boasted:

They said 'It's not true. You know, we are not really — we are doing everything we can to be nonpartisan,' but I'm like, 'Yo, how are you doing all these things that are not — that are leaning very MAGA? So, you need to be non-partial. Otherwise, I'm going to call you out again.'

"So I won't be on Univision," Leguizamo told Colbert, adding: "I won't be. They have the highest-rated Spanish-language shows, so I won't be on Univision." 

Univision execs are no doubt quaking in their boots in response to John Leguizamo's declaration.

Incidentally, Señor Leguizamo, Hispanic American voters are abandoning Biden — bigly — and planning to vote for Trump in November.

Ay caramba!
