AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez, a Puerto Rican-American, expressed outrage over Donald Trump's remarks, calling them offensive to not only Puerto Ricans but to all Latinos and people of decency. She also voiced her support for Harris, praising her commitment to fighting for the rights of marginalized communities, including immigrants and women.
The singer-actress emphasized the importance of voter turnout, urging attendees to use their voices and make their feelings known on Election Day. She spoke about her own journey as an immigrant and a woman in the entertainment industry, stressing the need for representation and opportunities for all.
Lopez's endorsement comes as Harris's campaign has been actively reaching out to Latino voters in key battleground states. The vice president has enlisted the support of several high-profile celebrities, including Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and the stars of the Marvel "Avengers" movies.
Harris's campaign has also seized on the controversy surrounding Trump's remarks, using them to highlight the former president's divisive rhetoric and lack of respect for Puerto Rican Americans. A recent Spanish-language ad released by the campaign featured a Puerto Rican flag waving proudly and the narrator declaring, "Puerto Rico is an island of scientists, poets, educators, stars, and heroes. We're not trash, we're more."
Lopez's endorsement is a significant boost to Harris's campaign, as she has a large following and is known for her outspoken advocacy on social and political issues. Her speech at the Las Vegas rally highlighted the importance of unity, respect, and the power of the vote in shaping the future of the country.
