Dear Messrs. Roberts and Burke:
‘As Chairman of the Califomia Latino Legislative Caucus, I'm writing to express my deep
concern and disappointment for your decision to allow Republican Presidential Candidate
Donald Trump to serve as a guest host of Saturday Night Live on November 7, 2015
Saturday Night Live (SNL) may be a comedy show, but inviting a host that believes the largest
ethnic group in the country consists of rapist and criminals with “lots of problems” is not only
wrong, but it makes NBCUniversal complicit in demeaning an entire community. This is not a
laughing matter, and on behalf of the California Latino Legislative Caucus, we sineerely hope
you will reconsider your decision and stand with the diversity that has made our nation great and
disinvite Mr. Trump from hosting SNL.
Barlier this year, NBCUniversal demonstrated true leadership when they stood up against Mr.
‘Trump’s derogatory statements against immigrants and ended its business relationship with him,
including cancelling the Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, as well as his participation in
the highly rated The Apprentice. NBCUniversal made this decision despite these shows boosting
high ratings, but it was the tight thing to do and we applauded your leadership,

hosting SIVL, but to publically renounce Mr. Trump’s hateful rhetoric against the Latino and
immigrant communities.
Sincerely,
Lh.
