A coalition of Latino groups and liberal online activist platform MoveOn.org are calling for NBC to disinvite GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump from hosting 'Saturday Night Live' on Nov. 7, which happens to be one year from Election Day 2016.
After the candidate disparaged immigrants crossing the border to the US from Mexico as murderers and rapists, Latino groups welcomed NBC cutting its ties to Trump on the 'Miss Universe Pageant' and 'Celebrity Apprentice'.
Trump, when questioned about his standing among Latinos this week, told Fox News he's "doing very well with Hispanics" in polls.
SNL has never had a presidential candidate host an entire show before in its history. Trump has appeared on the comedy show as a guest, notably in 2004.
