Jennifer Lopez took the microphone at a campaign rally for Kamala Harris yesterday in Las Vegas, encouraging Americans to oppose donald trump. After acknowledging that he has been on the Las Vegas stage many times, López confirmed that the rally podium was “the biggest stage I have ever been on.”

During his 13-minute speech, López reflected on the Comments made about Puerto Rico. by Tony Hinchcliffe during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, where the comedian called his home a “floating island of trash.”

“I promised myself I wouldn’t get excited, but you know what? We should get excited,” Lopez said. “We should be upset. We should be scared and outraged. Our pain matters. We matter.”

The singer and actress called Trump “the biggest adversary I think the United States has ever had internally” and said he “has constantly worked to divide us.” “At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us of who he really is and how he really feels,” he said. “It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who felt offended that day. It was all the Latinos in this country. “It was humanity and anyone of decent character.”

Lopez also compared her own story to Harris’s. “When I started in television and film, I could get roles as a maid or a loud-mouthed Latina, but I knew I had more to offer,” she said. “And I think there are a lot of people in this country who feel the same way, who know they are capable of doing more, and we all just want the opportunity to prove it. And elections are about electing leaders who support that, not one who gets in the way.”

Toward the end of the speech, López reaffirmed his Puerto Rican heritage, but said it was only one aspect of his identity. “I am Puerto Rican and yes, I was born here and we are Americans,” she told the crowd. “I am a mother. I am a sister. I am an actor and entertainer. And I like Hollywood endings. “I like it when the good guy or, in this case, the good girl wins.”

He continued: “And with an understanding of our past and a faith in our future, I will proudly vote for Kamala Harris for president of the United States. You can’t even spell American without “rican.” This is our country too and we must exercise our right to vote on November 5th. Please”.
