On Sunday August 28 Univision’s Jorge Ramos appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources to talk about Donald Trump, immigration, and respond to the Media Research Center’s call for him to be removed from the anchor chair. Because of Ramos’ active opposition to Trump, MRC Founder Brent Bozell put out a statement which said, “At the very least, Univision should remove Ramos from the network’s national evening news anchor chair, from now through Election Day.” Ramos’ response was a resounding no.
When asked by host Brian Stelter about the difficulty of holding Trump accountable for what he says Ramos defending his lack of neutrality. “And I think in this case neutrality is really not an option,” Ramos argued, “I think we have to take a stand, and in this case, Donald Trump is a unique figure in American politics. We haven't seen this in decades, since probability Senator Joe McCarthy.”
Stelter then asked Ramos about Bozell’s statement and what he had to say. Ramos doubled down on his anti-Trump activism:
Of course a journalist’s job is to ask questions from candidates and government officials, but MRC says there there are plenty of questions to be asked of both sides. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have some of the highest negatives ever seen for presidential candidates and people have questions about both. People want to know about Clinton’s dealings while Secretary of State too, not just Ramos’ pet project of taking down Trump.
