Award-winning actress Salma Hayek announced her support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and helped launch the campaign, “Latinos For Hillary.” In a campaign email for Clinton, Hayek did not mask her distaste for current Republican front-runner Donald Trump, writing, “Es increíble that the leading candidate of the Republican Party has been irresponsibly campaigning, using unfounded and insulting accusations against the Latino community to win votes.”

Clinton’s campaign announced last Thursday that it planned to launch “Latinos For Hillary” with several events that were scheduled to roll out over the next several weeks, during Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs Sept. 15-Oct. 15, NBC News reported. Although Clinton's poll numbers have been sliding, she remains the Democratic front-runner, and a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found 53 percent of Latinos view Clinton positively, with only 21 percent having a negative view of the politician, Latina.com reported.

“We are one of the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing groups in the United States of America,” Hayek wrote. “We deserve a candidate who respects the contributions we have made to this country and understands how important it is that our community continues to thrive, all while treating us con dignidad y respeto.”

4. We deserve a candidate who respects

the contributions we have made to this country and understands how important it is that our community continues to thrive, all while treating us con dignidad y respeto.

Is she the only candidate that "understands how important it is....."?

I must have missed something here.

5. Another rich person for Hillary - yay! nt

6. Pretty much.

Her husband's family is worth $15 billion.

And Bernie has been saying things about billionaires.

7. And on her own $85 million -

hardly chump change. http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/salma-hayek-net-worth/


When we talk about the split between the corporate vs. traditional dems this is what we're talking about.

The corporate dems are all about inclusiveness (gender, race, sexual orientation) - and that is good - but they stop short of condemning the economic system that is oppressing so many. And that is not ok.

That is why Hillary is a good candidate (better than Jeb!, Rubio, Trump, et al), but not a great candidate.

8. Something nice for Hillary, just another opportunity for DU's Bernie trolls to piss on HRC

I don't know why they call this site the "Democratic" Underground. The leading candidate from the Democratic Party doesn't have a SINGLE positive article or topic posted on this site today. Nothing but constant fellating of Bernie Sanders and whining about Hillary. Not a very "Democratic" site at all!

9. She's another rich person, so her support is understandable. nt

10. I wonder if Kering is going to supply HRC with her pansuits

now that Hayek is endorsing her. It would only be fitting.
