Jennifer Lopez’s speech at the Las Vegas rally offered a powerful endorsement of Kamala Harris, underscoring her frustrations with Donald Trump’s recent Madison Square Garden event, which many criticized for its insensitive and divisive rhetoric.
Lopez passionately addressed the crowd, expressing her dismay at comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments labeling Puerto Rico as “an island of garbage,” a statement that struck a personal chord with her. As a prominent Puerto Rican figure in the entertainment industry, Lopez noted that such remarks were not just an attack on Puerto Ricans but an affront to “humanity and anyone of decent character.”
Lopez also spoke to her own experiences as a Latina in Hollywood, highlighting the barriers she overcame in an industry that often limited her to stereotypical roles. She compared her struggle to break stereotypes with Harris' commitment to inclusivity and to empowering all Americans, regardless of their background. Emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election, Lopez reminded the audience that their votes were crucial in choosing leaders who foster unity rather than division. "We matter. Our voice matters. Your vote matters," she declared, encouraging those present to exercise their right to vote for a future aligned with values of respect and progress.
Her endorsement joins a wave of prominent figures supporting Harris, signaling a collective stance for social change, justice, and inclusivity.
