Jennifer Lopez passionately supported Kamala Harris during a recent rally in Las Vegas. She expressed her emotions on stage, criticizing former President Donald Trump for his offensive remarks. Lopez referred to Trump’s derogatory comments made at his Madison Square Garden rally, where he likened Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.” She stated, “He has consistently worked to divide us. At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels.”
A Message to All Latinos
Lopez emphasized that Trump’s words did not just offend Puerto Ricans but also affected every Latino in the United States. She asserted, “It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day, OK? It was every Latino in this country, it was humanity, and anyone of decent character.” Lopez clarified that her intention was not to attack anyone personally, saying, “I am not here to trash anyone, or bring them down. I know what that can feel like, and I wouldn’t do it to my worst enemy, or even when facing the biggest adversary I think America has internally ever had.”
Calling for Unity
Lopez called for unity among supporters of Harris, urging everyone to stand together. She stated, “It’s time for us to show up for her (Kamala). It’s time for us to all answer ‘presente.'” Lopez took pride in her identity, declaring, “I am an American woman. I am the daughter of Guadalupe Rodríguez and David Lopez, a proud daughter and son of Puerto Rico. I am Puerto Rican.”
Pledging Support for Harris
In her closing remarks, Lopez reaffirmed her identity and commitment to the cause. She declared, “I am Puerto Rican, and yes I was born here, and we are Americans. I am a mother. I am a sister. I am an actress, and I like Hollywood endings, and I like it when the good guy, or in this case the good girl, wins.” Lopez concluded by expressing her support for Kamala Harris, stating, “With an understanding of our past and our faith in our future, I will be casting my ballot for Kamala Harris for president of the United States.”
