While Trump is currently surging as the frontrunner among GOP presidential candidates, there’s one vote he likely won’t be getting: Media tycoon and Australia native Rupert Murdoch, who quickly took to Twitter to blast Trump’s claims.
“Mexican immigrants, as with all immigrants, have much lower crime rates than native born. Eg El Paso safest city in U.S. Trump wrong,” Murdoch tweeted. The media mogul has stayed mum on the growing GOP field; the last he weighed in on the candidates was in January when he deemed Mitt Romney a “terrible candidate” and questioned Sen. Ted Cruz’s “political judgement.” At the time, he showed vague support for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Rand Paul.
Trump has continued to defend his controversial remarks in which he called some Mexican immigrants “rapists” during his presidential announcement last month.
