Congressional Hispanic Caucus Demands Univision Answer Why It Let Trump Spread ‘Disinformation’ to Latino Communities

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is asking for a meeting with TelevisaUnivision CEO Wade Davis to raise concerns about the network’s “spread of mis- and disinformation” in Latino communities following a softball interview with Donald Trump, in which he threatened to use the Department of Justice and the FBI to target his enemies.

In a letter from the caucus obtained by TheWrap, they write, “Recent reported actions surrounding the interview of former President Donald Trump leave us concerned about Univision’s continued commitment to its mission and its audience.” Caucus members write that they have “a responsibility to our constituents, and to the Latino community we represent in Congress to fight for their rights.”

In additional to the congressional caucus, other members of the Latino community have taken issue with the friendly Univision interview conducted on Nov. 7 with Trump at Mar-a-Lago — where senior executives from Univision’s parent company, TelevisaUnivison, were present. Afterwards, Trump quipped, “they like me.”

“On behalf of our Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), we respectfully ask that you meet with the CHC to discuss recent reports about the network’s policies, protocols, and operations,” according to the letter.
