Donald Trump recently lost his lead in the polls for the Republican nomination in next year's US elections, but the candidate might have a more immediate concern in the coming days. A political action committee (PAC) that accuses Trump of being racist has offered a cash "bounty" to anyone who will disrupt his upcoming appearance as host of Saturday Night Live.
The PAC, Deport Racism, says it will give $5,000 to anyone in the audience of the NBC show who interrupts the live TV broadcast on November 7 by shouting the words "deport racism" or "Trump is a racist." The group says on its website that allowing Trump to host the famed comedy program "sends the wrong message that his offensive and racist comments about Latinos and Mexicans are acceptable."

When Trump launched his campaign for the GOP nomination in June, he called Mexicans "rapists" and accused immigrants from the country of "bringing crime" and drugs into the US. Trump has vowed to build a giant wall on the US-Mexico border if he is elected president, and claims he will find a way to make the Mexican government pay for it. The real estate mogul and former reality TV star also says he would deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants that currently live in the US.
"We're hoping the $5,000 will help people on set or in the studio audience find the bravery to speak out loudly and help focus the national conversation on that we need to deport racism, not people," Santiago Cejudo, an organizer with Deport Racism, said in a statement announcing the bounty. "It's 2016, and Trump needs to hear that you can't win the White House without the brown vote."
The group has also released a viral video that features several US-born Latino children using salty language to rip Trump for his anti-immigrant views.
