Jennifer Lopez defends Puerto Rico at Kamala Harris rally after Trump comments

Jennifer Lopez responded to derogatory comments about Puerto Rico made at a Trump rally, stating, "You can't even spell American without Rican." She emphasized her identity as a proud Puerto Rican and American while introducing Kamala Harris at a rally in Las Vegas. Lopez's remarks came after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." The Trump campaign distanced itself from Hinchcliffe's comments, which also included offensive remarks about Latinos. Hispanic voters are a key demographic in the upcoming election, with Kamala Harris holding 50% support among them, compared to Trump's 38%. Both candidates are actively campaigning in Nevada, which has a significant Hispanic population.
