Salma Hayek says "Make America Great Again" is just locker-room talk

I wish this was LBN. She is an excellent spokesperson for Hillary and Latinos.

Salma Hayek says “Make America Great Again” is just locker-room talk

In a conference call Monday, the actress explained her experience with Trump and why she thinks he is dangerous

Hayek noted that many of the young soldiers who have died in past wars were Latinos. But today, instead of honoring these sacrifices and contributions, a presidential candidate is call them criminals, Hayek said.

“He calls us criminals, but who is the one who has a criminal lawsuit? He calls us rapists, but who has a lawsuit for raping a young girl?” Hayek asked. “He calls Hillary Clinton, ‘crooked Hillary,’ but last time I checked he has 3,500 lawsuits.”.....................



“I actually think that ‘Make American Great Again’ is also nothing but locker-room talk,” Hayek said, “because he has never done anything for Americans. His big claim is that he has created jobs for America. He didn’t do business to create jobs for America. He did it to make himself rich. That’s all he knows how to do,” Hayek said.

Hayek had nothing but high praise for Hillary Clinton. “She knows what it takes to make a change. She has been fighting for these changes for 30 years, in health, in education,” she said.

“This is a very important time in history, for all of us,” she said. “In honor of those [Hispanic] men and women who gave their life for this country and all of their mothers and all of the sacrifices we have made, we have got to vote. We have to say that we have a voice. We care for this place. We care for this land,” Hayek said.
