Guatemala: Leading Presidential Candidate Blasts Donald Trump

HeadlineAug 19, 2015

Meanwhile, in Guatemala, leading presidential candidate Manuel Baldizón has criticized Donald Trump for his comments calling Mexican immigrants rapists, and called on the Latino community to reject “humiliation.”

Manuel Baldizón: “(This rhetoric) is a political strategy Mr. Trump is using. However, in my view, I’m completely against these kinds of actions that hurt Hispanics. It’s important that we Hispanics are clear that we can’t be accepting of such humiliation or negative blows against our culture and dignity.”

We’ll have more on Trump’s comments later in the broadcast.
