NEW YORK — Rita Moreno said that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump “scares the hell out of me” and urged Latinos to register to vote in order to keep him out of the White House.
The award-winning singer and actress said Tuesday that it’s necessary Latinos register now as voter registration deadlines in battleground states approach.
“Never before have we had a presidential candidate as xenophobic and, my words, unhinged as Donald Trump, and never before have Latino voters have had as much power as we do now, although I think that some of us don’t know that,” said Moreno during a phone call organized by the liberal-leaning group People for the American Way.
Moreno, 84, who is one of the rare performers to win an Oscar, Tony, Grammy and Emmy, said that Latinos need to register “so that at the very least we can keep a racist out of the White House.”
