NBC dumps Trump after remarks on Mexicans

NBCUniversal announced Monday it would no longer be working with Donald Trump, including on his hit reality show "The Apprentice."

The move follows Spanish-language broadcaster Univision's decision to cancel its partnership with Trump last week. NBC, like Univision, said it will no longer air the Trump-partnered pageants Miss USA and Miss Universe.

According to the Washington Post, several Hispanic groups put pressure on NBC after Trump's June 16 comments during his presidential announcement rally that immigrants coming over the U.S.-Mexican border were "rapists" and drug dealers.

In a statement, Trump doubled down on his remarks and threatened to sue NBC over contract violations.
