MAGA supporters are in turmoil after another star withdrew from the Great American State Fair, a Trump-aligned celebration on the National Mall marking the nation’s 250th birthday.
Event Details and Withdrawals
The event, scheduled from June 25 to July 10, was announced on Wednesday with nine performers. However, several acts quickly distanced themselves.
On Thursday, Grammy-nominated singer Martina McBride posted on X that she was “presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading.” She added, “Things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening.”
Richard Grenell, Trump’s envoy for special missions, responded harshly on X, calling her a “woke Lefty.” In a later post, he wrote, “The Intolerance is coming from your side. Why can’t you people be around people that disagree with you politically?”
Other Trump supporters searched for footage of McBride performing for Democrats, accusing her of hypocrisy.
Besides McBride, several other artists have pulled out, including The Commodores, Young MC, and Morris Day.
