Jennifer Lopez will reportedly take the stage at a Kamala Harris campaign event in Las Vegas on Thursday.
The Puerto Rican, Bronx-born singer is set to address the crowd just days after one of the opening acts at Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden denigrated Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating pile of garbage.”
Lopez will appear with Mexican rock band Maná during the Sin City gathering of Harris supporters, according to Rolling Stone.
Lopez joined a list of influential Puerto Ricans, including fellow musicians Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, to take a stand after Trump’s Sunday gathering in Manhattan.
Trump called the rally a “lovefest” and declined to denounce the comedian who made those remarks, claiming he doesn’t know entertainer Tony Hinchcliffe.
“Someone put him up there,” Trump told ABC News.
