Selena Gomez Defends Latino Community After Trump Rally

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's racist joke about Puerto Rico made at a recent Donald Trump rally has sparked outrage among celebrities and the public. Rosie Perez condemned the remarks, stating that Puerto Ricans have historically contributed significantly to the U.S. and do not tolerate disrespect, while criticizing Trump for failing to denounce the joke. Similarly, Selena Gomez expressed her disagreement with Hinchcliffe's comments and emphasized solidarity with her heritage, encouraging civic engagement through voting. Zoe Saldaña echoed these sentiments, lamenting the lack of character among current leaders and the negative impact of such rhetoric on communities. The backlash has not only affected Hinchcliffe but also the Trump campaign, which has faced criticism for the tone of the rally. Both Gomez and Saldaña recently participated in early voting, underscoring the importance of political engagement during this election season.
