ActorĀ John LeguizamoĀ obliterated a small horse piƱata while reciting a thorough catalogue of Spanish-language profanities on ā€œThe Daily Showā€ Tuesday in response to a New York Times/Siena poll that reported formerĀ President TrumpĀ leadsĀ President BidenĀ among Latino voters.

Of the pollā€™s Hispanic respondents, 46 percent they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, and 40 percent said they would vote for Biden.

ā€œYou may be thinking, how is this possible? ā€˜Build the wallā€™ Donald Trump? ā€˜Mass deportationsā€™ Donald Trump? ā€˜Guy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball playerā€™ Donald Trump?ā€ asked Leguizamo, afterĀ pummeling the piƱata.

ā€œBut the truth is, in 2024, Latino voters have something else on their minds,ā€ he added, cutting to a news report about Latino voters prioritizing inflation.

That priority was reflected in the Times/Siena poll: 93 percent of Hispanic respondents rated current food and consumer goods prices negatively.

ā€¦

For Leguizamo, any newfound Latino support for Trump is unacceptable, inflation or not.

ā€œWell, hereā€™s what you can count on, though. No matter what Trump says about inflation, he doesnā€™t like us and he doesnā€™t want us here,ā€ he said.

    My brotherā€™s mother in lawā€™s whole family is the same, only they arenā€™t even citizens after multiple decades living in the US. I really dont get it. My momā€™s an immigrant, but will never face any problems from it because sheā€™s from England, not El Salvador, but our whole family sees the good and hypocrisy of her being welcome here while Hispanic refugees are told to pound sand.

    How can you deny others the same gifts that you were given?
