Ricky Martin To Endorse Hillary Clinton Ahead Of Florida Event Aimed At Puerto Ricans

[SecularMotion]

First came Marc Anthony, now Ricky Martin.

Hillary Clinton is once again securing the endorsement of a Puerto Rican artist to coincide with a Florida organizing event aimed at the Latino community, this time in Orlando, targeting the rapidly growing Puerto Rican presence in the state.

While Anthony pulled Clinton up on stage during a Miami concert, “The Cup of Life” singer is expected to announce his support on Facebook and Twitter ahead of the Wednesday event.

“Our community has been continuously attacked by Donald Trump and other Republican presidential candidates,” Ricky Martin told BuzzFeed News. “A few months ago I raised my voice against Trump’s hateful rhetoric and standing with me was Hillary Clinton. Time after time, Hillary has shown her commitment to the Latino community and that is why I’m proud to support her and to stand with her because ella está con nosotros y nuestras familias.”

he has right to support whoever he wants but using trump to prop up Clinton is untrustworthy.of course why am i not surprised

11. It's looking ever more likely that Dems will capture 75%+ of the Latino vote next year.

Some people may think I'm being overly optimistic but the Republican brand is now toxic for most Latino voters. This shift will move FL from toss-up to Likely Dem and it will move CO and NV from Likely Dem to Safe Dem. These changes will even make AZ and TX noticeably less red, possibly pushing AZ to the cusp of being a toss-up state.
