Latino groups pressure NBC to drop Trump as SNL host

I'm joined by callers as I discuss Latino groups who are pressuring SNL to drop Donald Trump as a host. The groups cite Trump's comments describing Mexican immigrants as “rapists” who are “bringing crime” and “bringing drugs” to the U.S. as the reason they don't want him hosting.
Juan Escalante, the director of digital campaigns for America’s Voice, had these comments about Trump hosting SNL: “[Latinos] do not want to see Trump’s racism or his anti-immigration message being satirized. There’s nothing funny about mass deportation. There’s nothing funny about separating families. There’s nothing funny about calling Mexicans ‘rapists’ and murderers. ... It’s a very poor show of judgement and it’s completely disrespectful to Latinos and viewers across the nation.” (Source: http://tinyurl.com/p2nbteh)
