As a long-time gamer with roots deeply embedded in the rich and diverse tapestry of Latin American culture, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of admiration for Jennifer Lopez. Her recent stand against bigotry and division at the Las Vegas rally for Vice President Kamala Harris was nothing short of inspiring.
Jennifer Lopez spoke out against former President Donald Trump after a comment made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during his performance at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden.
A well-known entertainer expressed support for Vice President Kamala Harris and criticized a remark made by Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico being likened to “a floating island of trash.” This statement sparked backlash from various parts of the country, including celebrities like Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Aubrey Plaza, Nicky Jam. Initially supporting Trump, they later withdrew their endorsement following this comment.
At a rally held in Las Vegas on Thursday, Jennifer Lopez provided a detailed critique of Trump lasting approximately 15 minutes: “At Madison Square Garden, he made it clear to us who he truly is and his genuine sentiments,” she remarked. “It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were insulted that day. The entire Latino community in this nation felt offended, as did humanity and anyone with a sense of decency.
Speaking as a proud Puerto Rican who calls America home, let me affirm that identity. I’m a mother, a sister, an artist, and an entertainer. Just like many of my fellow Americans, I cherish the joy of Hollywood endings where the good prevail, be it a hero or a heroine. As a fun fact, did you know you can’t fully spell American without Rican? It’s a subtle reminder that we are an integral part of this great nation.
Lopez subsequently delved into several key policies that embody Harris’ Democratic identity, such as expanding the child tax credit: “It’s about supporting you to move forward. It’s about each and every one of you. It’s about all of us collectively, regardless of our appearance, our relationships, our beliefs, or where we originate.
While the crowd applauded as she spoke critically of Trump, Lopez remarked: “On a contrasting note, her adversary doesn’t share this viewpoint. Instead, he has persistently endeavored to create divisions among us.
In the upcoming election on November 5th, Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck in public opinion surveys. Approximately 1.78% of the total population consists of Puerto Ricans, as Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.
