Actor John Leguizamo Says "We Built This Country And We're Thriving"

Actor John Leguizamo Says “We Built This Country And We’re Thriving”

Actor John Leguizamo is going viral today, and Black Twitter is attacking following his controversial declaration yesterday – while on MSNBC.

The prolific actor told the host that “Latino’s built the United States.”

While Latino’s certainly contributed to the creation of this country, many on Black Twitter are upset with John’s comments. They feel that John’s comments undermine the contribution of Black Americans to building the nation.

And now Black Twitter is coming together – and trying too “cancel” John.

John told the host, “We built this country…and we’re thriving. We add $2.8 trillion to the GDP every year. If we were our own country, we’d be the fifth largest economy in the world.”

Many are angry because nowhere in John’s comments did he talk about the contribution of Black Americans, or any other minorities.

“MSNBC let him sit up there without any pushback. I guess he’s “pushing” his base for 2024,” a Twitter user commented. “This man is a known liar… Why would anybody believe anything he has to say,” another person wrote.
