In one of the most startling politically correct decisions any major television network has ever made, NBChas fired Donald Trump. Whether it was the right decision after his remarks about illegals coming over the border from Mexico or not, how is it they retain the Reverend Al Sharpton who makes Trump seem mellow? The MSNBC host has made equally offensive statements (or more) and keeps his job, Kayleigh McEnany, editor of Political Prospect, told CNN on Wednesday.

Yet Trump was immediately criticized when he said in his June 16 presidential campaign announcement, "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Hardly anything more alarming than most of Sharpton’s commentary’s or false remarks he has made in the past away from the MSNBC studios; Ferguson, MO and the ensuing riots being a prime example.

But that wasn’t the only hit Trump got in recent days. Last week, Univision announced it would not air Trump's Miss Universe pageant. NBC followed their lead by announcing Monday; they too were cutting all ties with Trump, including his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and dumping him as host of "The Apprentice." Yet the reverend keeps his job as a bombastic and highly controversial host of a regular “news” and commentary show at NBC’s sister network.
