Singer Marc Anthony makes a forceful endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign in a new ad in which he reminds Latin voters of former President Donald Trump’s scornful treatment of Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and his past negative statements about Hispanics.
“Even though some have forgotten, I remember what it was like when Donald Trump was president,” Anthony, who was born and raised in New York but is of Puerto Rican descent, says in the ad, recalling Trump tossing paper towels to Puerto Ricans whose homes had been devastated by the hurricane, and his comments during the 2016 campaign when he called to some Mexican immigrants “criminals” and “rapists.”
