Jennifer Lopez made a passionate case for Kamala Harris at a Las Vegas rally tonight, while chiding Donald Trump for bringing a parade of speakers to a Madison Square Garden event earlier this week who made racist jokes and sexist remarks.
Trump “has consistently worked to divide us,” Lopez said. “At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels. It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans that were offended that day. It was every Latino in this country. It was humanity and anyone of decent character.”
Lopez spoke out on Sunday in support of Harris, as a line up of speakers at Trump’s New York event made racist jokes and extreme statements. A comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage,” generating a backlash including prominent entertainers of Puerto Rican descent.
“I am Puerto Rican, and yes, I was born here, and we are Americans,” Lopez said, adding, “I am a mother. I am a sister. I am an actor and an entertainer. And I like Hollywood endings. I like when the good guy, and in this case, the good girl wins.”
More to come.
