Linda Ronstadt has endorsed Kamala Harris while speaking out against Donald Trump‘s scheduled rally at Tucson, Arizona’s Linda Ronstadt Music Hall.

In a statement shared on Instagram on Wednesday night, the “Blue Bayou” singer wrote, “Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something.”

“It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit,” she continued. Ronstadt explained that she doesn’t “just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance—although there’s that.”
Ms. Ronstadt is of Mexican-American heritage and see first hand what Trump’s and the Republican’s rhetoric is doing to her community.
“For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum,” Ronstadt wrote. “Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture. There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.”

Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something.
 
It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit.
 
I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance — although there’s that.
 
For me it comes down to this:  In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum. Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture.
 
There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.
 
Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.

P.S. to J.D. Vance:
 
I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for @kamalaharris and @timwalz .
 Oh-by-the-way… she is a cat lady!

Topline
Celebrity voices have entered the 2024 presidential race in a variety of ways in recent weeks, and some of the biggest names in politics and in Hollywood have lent their voices to a particular candidate in hopes of moving the needle this November.

Key Facts
  • Billionaire pop star Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in an Instagram post Tuesday night, minutes after a debate between Harris and Donald Trump wrapped up.
  • Actors Matt Damon and Lin-Manuel Miranda will attend fundraiser in New York City later this month—for which tickets are listed at $25,000 per person—to support the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
  • Trump thanked Brittany Mahomes, wife of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes, for her "defending him" after she clapped back at eagle-eyed fans who criticized her for liking several pro-Trump posts on social media last month (Mahomes has not formally endorsed a candidate).
  • Over Labor Day weekend, a fundraiser for the Democratic ticket in Southampton, New York was hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and fashion designer Tory Burch, among others.
  • Nick Offerman, Jane Fonda, Ben Stiller, Kathy Griffin, John Stamos, Ed Helms, Tiffany Haddish and Ike Barinholtz were among those who appeared on a “Comics for Harris” virtual rally via Zoom last month, which reportedly raised close to half a million dollars for the Harris campaign.
I don’t hold much stock in celebrities endorsements but it sure does look nice to see all these people supporting the Democrats. Trump also has his endorsements but I ours are much better then people like Kid Rock who is a homophobe. There is also Hulk Hogan, Rosanne Barr, Steve Wynn, and of course Elon Musk.
