The election results are out, with Donald Trump finally winning the intense battle against Kamala Harris. Many celebrities, actors, and athletes have endorsed their favorites over the last couple of months. One of the Democratic supporters has been La La Anthony, and with the result not going the way she intended, there is obvious disappointment.
On her Instagram, the mother of Kiyan Anthony shared a post reflecting her feelings. “How are you feeling today? Defeated. Disappointed. Sad. Angry. Confused.” Previously, she has wholeheartedly backed the Kamala Harris campaign. In fact, recently La La Anthony even shared a speech of a Puerto Rican rapper and wrote, “Proud.”
‘Fat Joe’ aka Joseph Cartagena is of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent raised in New York. The BMF star, Anthony, also wrote, “What a speech @fatjoe.” In an Instagram post, she shared a video featuring former Barack Obama and Michelle Obama meeting a young Kiyan. In the video, La La Anthony voiced over the photos and videos and urged people to vote for Kamala Harris.
