"You know, I love what I do" says Leguizamo in the interview with The Daily Beast. "But if I could I would run for office in Texas. I would run some place heinous to make a difference. Yes, I would run if my celebrity could get me elected, to get rid of the gerrymandering and to allow people to teach Latino history in Texas which is 39 percent Latino and around 12 percent black, so we people of color are the majority. Why are we so beaten down there?"
Back in 2015, Leguizamo had voiced his disdain for now President Trump when he spoke offensively about Mexicans.
Leguizamo also pointed out that Trump lacks sympathy and empathy and "that is ridiculous."
We all have do our part to stand up and speak out in these dark times! https://t.co/1eymYKmPjZ
