John Leguizamo is having a moment, a "Leguizamassance" to quote his own Instagram Bio. A month ago he went viral for smashing a piñata while hosting The Daily Show after coming to terms with the fact that Trump is currently winning over Latino voters. Now he's in the news again, doubling down on his anti-Trump discourse and proposing new insights as to why the shift in Latino voting trends as of late.
In a sprawling interview with Salon, the Colombian actor explained that although Latinos are blaming Biden for the economy, the focus should be going elsewhere. "COVID was the culprit and Trump not handling COVID was the culprit in damaging our economy", said Leguizamo. "But our economy is doing great. It's just inflation that's messing up everybody's paycheck."
