Actress Rita Moreno defended Miranda during an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying: "It's like you can never do right, it seems... This is the man who literally has brought Latino-ness and Puerto Rican-ness to America[n entertainment]". She added in reference to Miranda, "They're really attacking the wrong person."[84][85] Moreno's comments received further backlash, with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists calling them "unacceptable." She subsequently issued a statement walking back on her remarks, stating in part, "I was clearly dismissive of Black lives that matter in our Latin community. It is so easy to forget how celebration for some is lament for others."
