PAMELA SILVA: Well, I want to begin by saying that it's not that common for a Hispanic artist to publicly support President Trump, particularly at this time. And many were also surprised that you would accept this nomination to be a part of that commission.
What do you have in common with Trump and his ideology?
EDUARDO VERASTEGUI: That's another thing. We share the most important thing: The defense of life. You know that as a Mexican, a committed, practicing Catholic, the most important thing to me is to defend the most important fundamental right of all human rights, the right to be born.

SILVA: Is that all you have in common with him, Eduardo?
VERASTEGUI: No, no, there's a lot more. The main thing is life. I could not support a candidate, for example, like Biden, who, along with Kamala, his vice president, and the Democratic party, support abortion at nine months. My hands would be covered in blood, then...

VERASTEGUI: He has condemned them on several occasions
SILVA: Aren't you uncomfortable with that attitude? So ...

VERASTEGUI: Well, look what Obama promised, even here at Univision, how many times he said that if they voted for him ...
SILVA (INTERRUPTING): We're talking about Donald Trump right now....
VERASTEGUI (KEEPS TALKING): ... once they voted for him
SILVA (INTERRUPTING): And the separation of families as well?
VERASTEGUI: The Great Separator of Families has a name and his name is Obama.
...
The Great Separator. Over 2 million Mexicans were deported by the Obama administration
