“Hasta la vista, Jorge!”(Donald Trump)
As reported here at Babalu, back in 2011 Univison tried blackmailing Marco Rubio, repeatedly harassing his sister, running stories about his brother-in-law, planting camera trucks outside his sister’s home, etc. The arrogant swinishness by Univison towards Marco Rubio was the talk of Cuban-Americans at the time.
But a few months later Senator Rubio granted an interview to Jorge Ramos, who essentially insulted him on camera.
A few months after the interview, when Senator Rubio was preparing to deliver the GOP’s bi-lingual response to Pres. Obama’s State of the Union address, Angelica Artiles, executive assistant to Univision’s vice president of news, posted the following on Rubio spokesman Alex Burgos’s Facebook page: “Oh. wow, the loser is going to speak after our President. Anything to get publicity.” She also referred to Rubio as “Marquito,” a “token slave boy,” and a “turd.”
Bloomberg summarized the Rubio-Univison feud here.
Trump has a much better approach to Univision: LOS MANDO PAL CARAJO!–y LOS BOTO A PATADAS!!!!
Ya think Univison would consider a blackmail stunt on Trump?…Go ahead, Univision. Make Trump’s Day!
Ramos is a classic of his kind, which I should not need to explain further to this audience.
It gave me great pleasure to see this pompous self-aggrandizing leftist asshole get booted from the press conference.
I suppose Rubio was put in a no-win situation by Univision, which is anything but a class act, as evidenced by that Artiles woman (who should have been fired for such a disgraceful and totally unprofessional public outburst). Still, he was too acquiescent and accommodating, or he certainly gave that impression. Unfortunately, when you deal with shitty people on anything like their terms, you’re bound to get soiled.
