Daily Show’s John Leguizamo Goes in Disguise To Talk to ‘Trump Curious Latino Voters’: ‘He Misspeaks From the Heart’

 

John Leguizamo went undercover and disguised on The Daily Show to speak to “Trump curious Latino voters” to determine former President Donald Trump’s “surprising support in the Latino community.”

“Election day is almost upon us, and Democrats are concerned about Donald Trump’s surprising support in the Latino community,” Leguizamo said on Thursday’s Daily Show as he revealed his disguise, which included grey hair, a grey beard, and a fake nose.

Leguizamo spoke to six “undecided and Trump curious Latino voters” and introduced himself as a representative for the pro-Trump PAC Keep America American named Ron. The voters in the group cited the economy and the southern border as their biggest issues in the election.

“Can I see everybody’s ID real quick and see if you’re real citizens?” Leguizamo asked, getting an immediate no from everyone.

The comedian and actor later played clips of Trump for the six voters to see if the former president’s more controversial statements would sway them, including Trump saying illegal immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.”

In another clip, Trump spoke of criminals being let into the country and declared we have “a lot of bad genes” in the US.

“I think maybe there’s better words that can be used,” one voter said. “We all misspeak sometimes.”

“I mean, what I love about Trump is when he misspeaks from the heart,” Leguizamo said.

“He misspeaks from the heart because he’s got a lot and maybe he has a good heart,” another voter agreed.

“Well said,” Leguizamo responded.

Leguizamo later revealed his identity to the voters, but found not one person changed their mind.

“Now that I’ve shown you all of these awful things about Trump, does that change your vote?” he asked.

Every voter shook their head no.

“Democracy,” Leguizamo said to the camera.
