‘Pissing Me Off!’ John Leguizamo Torches Univision for ‘Softball’ Trump Interview in Heated Daily Show Rant

 

John Leguizamo trashed Univision for its recent sitdown with former President Donald Trump — which the actor referred to as a “softball interview.”

In a heated rant on Wednesday’s edition of the Daily Show, Leguizamo went after the Spanish-language network as well as correspondent Enrique Acevedo — accusing them of taking it easy on the former president.

“Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with Univision interviewing Trump. In fact, I thought it would be dope opportunity to confront him on his hardline anti-Latino policies. But instead of an interview worthy of Univision, we saw this caca mierda,” Leguizamo said — using the Spanish words which roughly translate to poop.

The actor took particular issue with a question in which Acevedo asked Trump why “more and more Latinos are identifying themselves as conservatives.”

“I was expecting this guy’s follow up question to be, ‘Is it true that to look upon your penis, it would be like, I don’t know, gazing into the very face of God?'” Leguizamo said.

Leguizamo went on to point out a connection between a top Univision executive and a prominent member of Trump’s family.

“I don’t know all the answers, but maybe it has something to do with Univision’s new co-CEO, Bernardo Gomez, being close friends with Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and the only man with the skin of a flower tortilla,” Leguizamo quipped. “Look, I don’t know. I’m just asking the tough questions — unlike Univision’s interviewer.”
