Marc Anthony Supports Harris, Calls Out Trump On Puerto Rico

Singer Marc Anthony announced he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president after he criticized Donald Trumps treatment of Puerto Rico over the years.

Anthony voiced his concerns about the former president on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, one day after the Trump campaign drew condemnation over right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe opening a Trump a rally at New York Citys Madison Square Garden with a string of racist jokes, many of which targeted Puerto Rico and citizens of color.

Anthonys post wasnt focused on Sundays rally but on all the ways Trump insulted and let Puerto Rico down during his term in office:

Im here to tell you that even though some have forgotten I remember.
I remember what it was like when Trump was president.
I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico
About our people ...
I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island
Trump blocked billions in relief while thousands died.
I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico dirty and poor.
But I was not surprised..
Because I ALSO remember he launched his campaign by calling Latinos criminals and rapists.
Hes told us what hell do.
Hell separate children from their families and threatened to use the ARMY to do it
This election goes way beyond political parties.
Now lets remember what the United States represents and stands for. Its our name - United.
Regardless of where were from.
Im Marc Anthony
I remember
And thats why I support Kamala Harris for President

Im here to tell you that even though some have forgotten I remember.

I remember what it was like when Trump was president.

I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico
About our people ...

I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island

Anthonys endorsement of Harris is new, but not his antipathy toward Trump is not.

In 2016, Anthony showed his lack of support for Trump by shouting Fuck Donald Trump! at a concert.

In 2017, Anthony attacked Trump for being more obsessed with football players not pledging allegiance to the flag than with trying to help Puerto Rico in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Anthony isnt the only person to announce an endorsement of Harris after the Puerto Rico insults at Sundays rally.
