Lopez joined Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Nevada and addressed offensive comments made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during a rally for Donald Trump.
Jennifer Lopez also made a passionate pitch for Kamala Harris at a Las Vegas rally Thursday night. She slammed Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden event and his speakers’ misogynist and racist language. Like LeBron James, Jennifer Lopez referenced Hinchcliffe’s widely condemned rally speech after the comic called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”
Meanwhile, earlier this week, reggaeton artist Nicky Jam retracted his Donald Trump endorsement. He said he was walking back his support in response to Hinchcliffe’s remarks about Puerto Rico. However, he faced backlash from fans who believed the singer should never have backed Trump in the first place.Â
Urging voters to cast their ballots for Kamala Harris, Lopez said, “as President of the United States she will fight for our freedom, for immigrant families to chase the American dream.”
