UPDATE: As expected, Donald Trump took the red meat and is blasting the video. Why wouldn’t he? Kids cursing at him is an easy target to rile up his base, the same base that spits at people.
The anti-Trump campaign from Latinos has now gone South Park, as the following video from Deport Racism shows:
We don’t know how we really feel but yes, these kids have to be actors, because no Latino parent would have their real kids dropping f bombs to the Internet. Guess we we raised in a different era when cursing was a mortal sin punishable by flying chanclas. We get the Trump anger, but having child actors hurl profanities? Best strategy? Really?
By the way, Deport Racism is a registered PAC. As its site explains:
DeportRacism.com is a registered non-profit Federal Election Commission political action committee (PAC) dedicated to fighting anti-Latino and anti-immigrant racism in the 2016 election. Using the power of shareable viral video content, impactful social media memes and headline-generating confrontations with presidential candidates who promote racism and xenophobia, DeportRacism.com is a movement of Latinos, immigrants and social progressives of all origins committed to fighting for equality and holding candidates accountable in the 2016 race for the White House. With its bold youth-centered and Internet-savvy approach, DeportRacism.com will work to turn out the Latino and progressive vote and give a voice to people Republican candidates try marginalize and use as scapegoats. We are the United States of America. “United” is in our name. We do support a massive deportation effort – but of racism, not people. Join the #DeportRacism2016 movement! Get involved and get a T-shirt to support cause and make a statement!
A quick search of DeportRacism.com on the Federal Elections Commission doesn’t reveal any results about who is behind this campaign, but the group’s FAQs reveal a few things, including information about its founder, who markets himself as a “American-born Mexican resident:”
Luke Montgomery is an American social media marketing activist, democratic digital strategist and viral video director who divides his time between his home in Chiapas, Mexico, where he lives with his Mexican boyfriend Santiago Cejudo, and Los Angeles. A believer in the power of politics to change things for the better, Luke’s cause-marketing work has been described by Entertainment Tonight as being “one of the hottest topics on the planet” with Inside Edition adding that it was “creating a national firestorm.” His recent edgy girls’ rights viral video sensation, “Potty-Mouth Princesses” was named by Mashable.com as the #1 viewed and shared viral ad on earth in October 2014, beating out Taylor Swift and Diet Coke, with over 35 million combined views – 14 million and 9 million of which came from a two Facebook posts alone. The “cussing for a cause” gender equality ad written and directed by Montgomery raised over $30,000 for women’s charities and won the 2014 Silver Epica Award, the only creative prize awarded by journalists from over 40 marketing and communications magazines and websites around the world. Luke is a believer in “marketing the things that matter.”
The group also shared this release:
Latino Rights PAC Offers $5,000 “Bounty” to Disrupt Trump on NBC’s Saturday Night Live TV BroadcastPAC Launches Viral Video Campaign with Latino Kids “F-Bombing” Trump’s Offensive Racist Statements as Part of Democrat-Funded DeportRacism.com CampaignLos Angeles, CA – November 4, 2015 – Angered that NBC invited Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to host NBC’s Saturday Night Live November 7th show, democratic FEC registered Latino rights PAC DeportRacism.com has taken the unprecedented move of offering a $5,000 “bounty” to anyone on the show’s set or in the studio audience who will disrupt the live TV broadcast with the words “deport racism” or “Trump is a racist.” The aggressive action comes on the heels of the work of a coalition of mainstream Latino rights groups that are organizing behind the hashtag #RacismIsntFunny having little success convincing NBC that a person who calls Mexican immigrants “rapists,” “drug dealers” and “anchor babies” has no place on the storied stage of the iconic American comedy institution. Details of the “cash for confrontation” offer are spelled out on the group’s website, DeportRacism.com.
They sure like to sell a lot of t-shirts too.

Well that’s charming. Sure sways me to their cause, said no one ever.
As someone living in California, I’ve seen too many illegals come in and damage our neighborhoods and towns. Crime has risen, property values have fallen, and the influx of minimum wage workers takes jobs from high schoolers..
We can no longer afford to “split the pot” with everyone who wants a piece. America is struggling enough as it is. Most of us are making below living wage and just had our health insurance forcefully taken away. I make 60k per year and my healthcare is up to $400 per month; compare this to my $25/month car insurance (from Insurance Panda) or my $13/month renters insurance. Both private enterprise (take note, Obama).
Trump is totally correct on this topic. Illegals are ruining this country and the president is allowing this to happen.
TRUMP 2016: BUILD THAT WALL!!!

You don’t understand how insurance works.
Your car and renters insurance are low not because it’s private, it’s because lots of places mandate that you have it.
Lots of people paying into insurance = lower rates.
Healthcare is expensive because people aren’t insured, but wind up in the emergency room and pass the costs onto the hospital which raises the costs for everyone else which in turn raises the cost of health insurance.
It’s not because there’s a finite level of insurance that exists and is being depleted by immigrants.
That’s really more due to people like Trump who take federal subsidies to support their businesses and then refuse to pay their fair share of taxes and refuse to reward the people working for them with fair pay and healthcare.
I live in NM and despite what the lying media tells you, a lot of Hispanics are fed up with illegal aliens. The national news doesn’t tell you about the large number of Chinese illegal aliens here in NM. Stupid people don’t realize it’s not just Mexicans who come here illegally. My Hispanic family and friends are voting for Trump.

No. His auto insurance rates are low because he apparently has a good driving record. He is a responsible driver. ACA punishes those in good health and with more money by making them pay more for those who use more and pay less. I’ts backassward.
These videos are child abuse.
Oh look – child abuse. Yup, we need more kids like this in our country. . . I don’t want these kids anywhere near my kids or my family. I sure do resent being expected to pay to educate them – no one bothers to at home. . .
I don’t even like Donald Trump and I almost want to say I hate these kids. . . Fake or real, these are horrible children. What a cute little girl calling a grown man pendejo . . . I am disgusted and embarrassed for them. America’s left has no class at all. Beyond sad – can you say contributing to the delinquency of a minor. . .

What stupid parents. These kids can possible be bullied and beaten up at school after seeing this kind of chit. Child services should be called on these people. They stoop so low as to use kids.
FlakesBongler DonaldMajor You don’t seem to care much about being right, just being loud.
Classless! Don’t use children to do your dirty work!
The children may be actors, but guess what?Their parents did allow these Latino children
to disgrace Latinos all over this hemisphere.Shameful.
