'They really are hiding him': Trump mocked after backing out of NRA speech

In addition to backing out of multiple interviews with mainstream media outlets in recent weeks, it was revealed on Thursday that former President Donald Trump has canceled a planned address in front of the National Rifle Association that was to have taken place in Savannah, Georgia.

As the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported, the announcement of the cancelation came just five days before the event was to have taken place, with Trump's campaign team citing a "scheduling conflict" as the reason.

'A despicable moment': Trump hammered for 'ratings' joke about woman's death

A glib comment by Donald Trump, delivered with a smirk during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, led to outrage on MSNBC on Thursday afternoon.

MSNBC host Ana Cabrera drew attention to comments made by the former president after he was alerted by Fox News personality Harris Faulkner that critics of his abortion policies were doing a "prebuttal" aimed at his appearance at the women-only Fox event.

Among those critics were the parents of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman who was allowed to die due to anti-choice legislation passed by the state's Republican legislative majority that led doctors to withhold care over fears of being arrested.

During the Faulkner interview, she stated, "Amber Thurman’s family have come out on a press call, and they’re doing what’s called a prebuttal to our town hall right now.”

That led the former president to joke, "Oh, that’s nice,” to which the pro-Trump audience laughed before he added, “We’ll get better ratings, I promise," which led to more laughter including from Fox's Faulkner.

After sharing the Fox News clip, MSNBC host Cabrera looked stunned and told her guests, "The ratings? The laughter? Jennifer, how should voters square that moment with what Trump has said about how women should trust him, that he's a protector of women?"

Former New Hampshire GOP chair Jennifer Horn angrily replied, "That was such a despicable moment to try to make a joke and pull a laugh out of the audience when discussing the completely unnecessary loss of life of a young woman."

"But it very much revealed, just another of the million examples of who Donald Trump is, and how he really thinks instinctively about women," she continued. "He said he's going to take care of women, 'the father of IVF.' He has no understanding of women as equal members of society, as equal, full, whole human beings. He's extremely paternalistic in his views of women, which makes him a dangerous potential leader for this country if he gets to be president again."

Former Univision president bashes network for hosting Trump 'propaganda' town hall

The former president of Univions and Telemundo took his former network to task on Thursday morning for taking part in a town hall with Donald Trump where the former president was allowed to glibly brush away Latino voters' concerns with little push back.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" with co-host Mika Brzezinski, Joaquin Blaya compared the Trump town hall to what one might see on Fox News and labeled it as nothing more than an "infomericial" where the audience was brought in as "props."

Getting right into it, he complained, "He [Trump] went onto recite his concert of lies without any journalism integrity on the part of the network, without any fact-checking."

"So he spoke uninterrupted saying many of the things we have seen him say for the last few months, but some of the things he has been saying in the last few months which are very relevant to Hispanics, were not brought up," he added. "For example, that we are poisoning the blood of this country. That we includes me and my family."

He accused, "He is working on the largest deportation project in American history where he is planning to raid and put in camps millions of people. Obviously he went on talking about the Haitians in Springfield, legal citizens of this country which were invited by that city to help provide services and jobs. It goes on and on."

"I think you have covered this subject at length this morning," he added. "The question here is Univision did not distinguish themselves as being a true news organization. And served as a platform for close to an hour of his continuing recital of lies."

He then singled out the town hall moderator, telling the MSNBC host, "I cannot respond for the network, but the person that was conducting the –– let's call it the town hall –– was the same person that did what I call a propaganda project. The main anchor of the Univision network is Jorge Ramos, one of the most respected journalists in America. You would have thought that Jorge would have to be the person doing the interview and the town hall. Yet they, again, decided to put on someone that they brought from Mexico, and the results are what you saw last night where they allow Trump to go freely reciting his traditional list of lies."
