MAGA country hates it when high-profile celebrities voice their opposition to their dear leader and encourage Americans to vote (just ask Taylor Swift), so a lot of stars choose to remain silent about their political beliefs.

Luckily, that isn’t keeping all of the celebrities from continuing to remind everyone that democracy is on the line come Nov. 5. At Sunday (Sept. 15) night’s Emmy Awards, Liza Colón-Zayas took the opportunity to do just that as she accepted her award for Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series in The Bear. With women’s rights, workers rights, and basically everything else under the sun at risk should Donald Trump and his MAGA cult once again come into presidential power, Colón-Zayas took a moment in her acceptance speech to encourage women to cast their ballot accordingly come November saying, “To all the Latinas, who are looking at me — keep believing and vote. Vote for your rights.”

Luckily for her, this was her first Emmy nomination and win, so MAGA country isn’t familiar enough with her name to bombard her with hate mail or death threats (y’all know how they do). Had this been Jennifer Lopez, Sofia Vergara or Selma Hayek, their pages would’ve been flooded with all kinds of racial hate. Just sayin’.

Check out Liza Colón-Zayas acceptance speech below, and give it up for the Bronx-born native in the comments section.
