Jennifer Lopez, the world’s most famous Puerto Rican entertainer, is set to speak at a Kamala Harris rally in Las Vegas Thursday, Rolling Stone reported. The announcement comes days after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faced backlash for his racist jokes at a Donald Trump rally Sunday. Lopez, along with other Puerto Rican musicians Ricky Martin and Bad Bunny, hit back against Hinchcliffe’s comment that Puerto Rico was a “floating pile of garbage.” Following the rally, Lopez shared two posts from the Harris campaign on her plan to help Puerto Rico. Lopez previously posted a video encouraging voter registration. Harris will also hit the campaign trail in Arizona on Thursday, where Tigres del Norte will perform. At the Nevada rally on the same day, the Mexican rock band Maná will also perform.
