As he delivered the news that U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen had been accosted out of her dinner at a prominent downtown Washington Mexican restaurant, the tone of voice of Univision anchor Jorge Ramos gave it away that he was on the side of the protesters – whom he failed to identify as socialists who advocate for the total destruction of U.S. immigration law enforcement.
"If the children can’t eat in peace, YOU can’t eat in peace" Ramos dramatically intoned as he recounted the incursion of members of the Washington, D.C. Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America into the dining area of MXDC, located just two blocks from the White House.
JORGE RAMOS, SENIOR NEWS ANCHOR, UNIVISION: Trump's Homeland Security Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, had to cut her dinner short last night while dining at a Mexican restaurant near the White House, when a group of protesters rejected the policy of separating families. The protesters forced her to rapidly leave the establishment, while they shouted "If the children can’t eat in peace, YOU can’t eat in peace" and she left.
In addition to failing to identify the radical leftist affiliation of the protesters, Ramos also failed to mention the other, profanity-laced epithets they hurled at Secretary Nielsen, along with their chants of “No Borders, No Wall, Sanctuary for All” and repeated calls to “Abolish ICE!”
To her credit, on Univision’s late-night national newscast anchor Andrea Linares did identify the “group” of protesters as the Democratic Socialists of America, as well as referenced their clearly anarchic goals.
Below is the complete transcript of the above-referenced report, as aired during the June 20, 2018 edition of Noticiero Univisión.
