Your voice and your vote matters.”Other performers with Puerto Rican heritage, including Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi and Aubrey Plaza, have all also come out against Trump’s campaign after Hinchcliffe’s ‘jokes’.The stars of the entertainment world have been lining up to endorse the current Vice President ahead of the November 5 election.
