Marc Anthony just hit the 2024 election like a salsa beat drop. On Friday (October 18), the 56-year-old Puerto Rican icon decided to shake things up by officially endorsing Kamala Harris in a campaign ad – and, oh boy, he didn’t come to sugarcoat anything.
He kicked things off with some prime shade aimed straight at the 2017 version of Donald Trump. “I remember what he did and said about Puerto Rico, about our people,” Marc declared, in a tone that said, “Y’all thought I forgot? Please.”
He didn’t stop there. Nope, Marc took us on a full-blown flashback to that time after Hurricane Maria walloped the island, reminding everyone that while Puerto Rico begged for relief, Trump acted like he misplaced the checkbook – all while people were suffering. “Thousands died, and Trump? Dude was throwing paper towels like he was at a basketball game. And calling Puerto Rico ‘dirty and poor’? Nah, man. We don’t forget.”
But wait, there’s more! Marc’s campaign message wasn’t just about hurricanes and missed free throws. He took us down memory lane to Trump’s border policies, saying, “He said it loud and clear – separate kids from their families. And then had the audacity to threaten to roll the Army in? My abuela always said, ‘When people tell you who they are, believe them.’ Well, we heard him, loud and clear.”
In true Marc Anthony fashion, he didn’t leave us hanging without a mic-drop moment. “This election? It’s bigger than just Democrats vs. Republicans. This is about what the United States is supposed to mean – united, no matter where we come from. I’m Marc Anthony, and I remember. And that’s why I’m all in for Kamala Harris.”
A salsa legend reminding us that politics isn’t just for the buttoned-up folks. Marc’s out here, bringing receipts and rhythm, and telling everyone to remember the past while dancing forward into the future. 🎤💃
