Marc Anthony is showing his support for presidential candidate Joe Biden in a new ad in honor of Hurricane María's third anniversary.

“Remembering is not easy for everyone,” Marc Anthony says in the minute-long ad. “However, forgetting is forbidden.”
Marc Anthony has never shied away from expressing his anger toward President Donald Trump. So, there’s no surprise that the Puerto Rican singer would show his support for presidential candidate Joe Biden. The Biden campaign released a new bilingual ad titled “Prohibido Olvidar,” narrated by Marc Anthony, on Hurricane María‘s third anniversary.

Here’s the English Version

The heartbreaking ad shows the devastation in the wake of Hurricane Maria and how Puerto Ricans united to help each other. The ad never mentions Trump by name, but subtly shows only his hands.

“It’s forbidden to forget that in moments of true darkness, when the cries for help fell on deaf ears,” Marc Anthony narrates. “We were the ones that stood tall to rebuild.”

The ad comes days after Trump announced that he would be releasing $13 billion in relief to Puerto Rico, three years after the hurricane hit. Latino lawmakers expressed their anger at Trump’s disregard for Puerto Rico, particularly for announcing this so close to the presidential election.
