Donald Trump's saga over his remarks about Mexican immigrants continues to unfold.
On
Wednesday morning Trump claimed that NBC and Macy's "support illegal
immigration" after they decided to cut business ties with the
billionaire Republican presidential
candidate over his comments.
"I
have always said that if you are successful, it is very hard to run for
office, specially the office of President. I have also continually
stated that I am not beholden
to anyone and this includes NBC and Macy's. Clearly, NBC and Macy's
support illegal immigration, which is totally detrimental to the fabric
of our once great country," Trump said in a statement. "Both Macy's and
NBC totally caved at the first sight of potential
difficulty with special interest groups who are nothing more than
professional agitators, who are not looking out for the people they
purport to represent, but only for themselves. It is people they purport
to represent but only for themselves. It is people
like this that are actually running our country because our leaders are
weak and ineffective."
Macy's,
which carried a menswear line by Trump, announced they were cutting
ties with Trump on Wednesday. NBC and Univision announced last week they
would not air Trump's
Miss Universe or Miss USA pageants, scheduled for later this month.
Trump had already announced he would no longer participate in the show
"The Apprentice" on NBC.
During
his campaign announcement last month, Trump promised to build a wall
that would stop Mexico from dumping "rapists" and criminals on U.S.
soil. Trump later accused
the media of trying "to distort my comments regarding Mexico and its
great people."
On
Tuesday, Trump sued Univision for $500 million claiming, among other
things, breach of contract and defamation. Univision called the lawsuit
"factually false and legally
ridiculous."
An NBC spokesperson declined to comment.
