Jennifer Lopez recites part of pledge of allegiance in Spanish during Biden inauguration

Jennifer Lopez recited some of the pledge of allegiance in Spanish during her performance at President Biden’s inauguration, in a likely historic first.

The actress and “Ain’t Your Mama” singer performed a medley of the 1940 classic “This Land is Your Land” and the patriotic tune “America the Beautiful” on Wednesday at the Capitol.

Near the end of her performance, Lopez said to the inaugural crowd in Spanish, “One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Lopez, whose parents are Puerto Rican, endorsed Biden during the 2020 presidential race, and appeared during his campaign in a video aimed at Latino voters in Florida.
