Jennifer Lopez urged voters in Nevada to give Kamala Harris a silver screen ending and expressed outrage over the Puerto Rico dig made at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.
JLO AND HER CAMPAIGN TRAIL DEBUT
JLo made her campaign trail debut Thursday night at a rally at the Craig Ranch Amphitheater in Las Vegas, calling it the ‘most important stage I’ve ever been on’ as the presidential rivals tussled for votes in Sun Belt swing states.
The actress and singer said she was a ‘lover’ and didn’t mean to ‘trash’ anyone – ‘even facing the biggest adversary I think America has ever had’ – but she had something to say about that ‘garbage’ comment.
WHAT SHE SAID
‘It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day, it was every Latino in this country,’ she said, referring to MAGA-aligned comic Tony Hinchcliffe calling the U.S. territory a ‘floating island of garbage.’ ‘It was humanity and anyone of decent character,’ Lopez said.
She also told the thousands of Harris supporters – some dressed in Halloween costumes, ‘I am Puerto Rican. ‘And yes I was born here and we are Americans,’ Lopez said to cheers. ‘You can’t even spell American without Rican,’ she quipped.
As Harris and Lopez worked to woo voters in Nevada, Trump appeared in Glendale, Arizona with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday night.
