    Jennifer Lopez Says ‘Every Latino in This Country’ Is Offended by Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally

    Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez said Thursday at Harris’ rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, that Trump has “consistently worked to tear us apart.”

    She referenced Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, during which comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash.” Lopez’s parents are both from Puerto Rico.

    “At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels,” Lopez said, referring to Trump. “It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day, okay? It was every Latino in this country, it was humanity and anyone of decent character.”

    She then urged the crowd to get out and vote.

    “You know what? We should be moved. We should be angry. We should be scared and outraged. We should. Our pain matters. We matter,” Lopez said. “Your voice and your vote matters.”

    Liz Cheney slams Trump on X for ‘war hawk’ comment.

    Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney slammed Trump on X, the former Twitter, after calling her a “war hawk” and saying guns should be “trained on her face.”

    “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten death to those who speak against them. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant,” Cheney wrote on X with the hashtags #Womenwillnotbesilenced and #VoteKamala.

    Trump made the comments during an interview with former Fox host Tucker Carlson at an event in Glendale, Arizona. He claimed she wanted to keep US troops in Syria and Iraq.

    “He is a radical war hawk. Let’s set her up with a shotgun, nine barrels shooting at her, okay?” he said. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, with guns pointed in her face.”

    Trump’s disparaging rhetoric about his political opponents has increased as the Nov. 5 general election approaches — Cheney’s comments being the latest. He is prior he labeled his opponents “garbage” and “people”. garbage.”

    Cheney, one of Trump’s most vocal critics, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and campaigned with her in recent weeks. She previously served as vice chair of the now-disbanded House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and condemned the former president’s actions that day.

    Former President Donald Trump is involved in four criminal casesbut the most important verdict in his legal future may be delivered Election Day, Tuesday. If he wins, all of his charges could be dropped or delayed for at least four years. If he loses, he faces summary judgment in one case and trials in the other three.

    If Trump wasn’t running for president, his legal problems would be inevitable. It is currently scheduled to be convicted Nov. 26 of 34 felonies in the case of New York hush money. Two attempts are looming − one in federal court in Washington, DC and one in Georgia state court − on charges of trying to steal the 2020 election. In Florida, a Trump-appointed federal judge denied allegations that Trump mishandled classified documents after leaving the White House. But that reprieve could be temporary, as prosecutors have appealed the decision.
