Latino singer Ricky Martin said he's had enough of Donald Trump.
Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin slammed presidential candidate Donald Trump for continually "harassing" Latinos. The singer said that the fact that Trump, who is a candidate for presidency in the United States, repeatedly "harasses" the Latin community is making his blood boil.
"When did this character assume he could make comments that are racist, absurd and above all incoherent and ignorant about us Latinos?" Martin said.
His rant came after Donald Trump had an exchange with veteran journalist of Univision Jorge Ramos. This led to the expulsion of Ramos from the press conference in Iowa. Ricky Martin responded and took the side of Ramos, saying that he was only "doing his job."
Martin also accused Trump of using barbarities and lies just to be able to stay relevant and talked about. The 43-year-old singer added that from the beginning, Trump's intention was already visible. He further defended the journalist, saying that Latin television networks and journalists should be given the same right to freely exercise their professions, Fox News Latino reported.
Martin is just one of the many Latino celebrities who are against Trump after his racist comments about their community. Furthermore, he added that whilst he is not surprised by Trump's behavior, it's a shocker how Hispanics just accept the accusations and aggression by the business mogul.
"Enough is enough! If we are united in some things, we should be united in others. We have already shown the United States who we are and we cannot allow this behavior," the singer continued.
Ricky called the attention of his fellow Latinos and rallied them to unite and seek respect. He said that they should demand respect for the first-generation Latinos who came to America to open the doors for them, Entertainment Online reported.
