Jennifer Lopez Says Trump ‘Offended Every Latino In The Country’ With MSG Joke At Harris Rally

Jennifer Lopez, campaigning with Kamala Harris on Oct. 31 in Nevada, said Donald Trump’s campaign had offended “every Latino in this county” following his rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Trump’s rally in New York saw a comedian Tony Hinchcliffe mocked Puerto Rico, describing the island as “a floating island of garbage.”

“There’s a lot going on,” Hinchcliffe stated during the event in Madison Square Garden. “Like, I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah, I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

Lopez, whose parents were born in Puerto Rico, said: “At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels. It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day, okay? It was every Latino in this country, it was humanity and anyone of decent character.”

A number of other Puerto Rican celebrities like Lopez have also been critical of Trump in recent days. Reggaeton star Nicky Jam withdrew his support for Trump just a month after endorsing the Republican candidate.

Bad Bunny, one of the world’s biggest Latin music stars, posted a video with his 45 million Instagram that threw support behind Harris.
