Over the last few days, performers like Andrea Bocelli and Jennifer Holliday have backed out of singing at Donald Trump’s inauguration after receiving tons of backlash from liberals. Now, country music star Toby Keith has broken his silence to respond to his liberal haters by revealing he has no intention of dropping out of the inauguration concert.
Keith reportedly told Entertainment Weekly that he won’t be apologizing for singing at Trump’s “Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration” at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on Thursday.
“I don’t apologize for performing for our country or military,” Keith said in his statement, according to Conservative Tribune. “I performed at events for previous presidents (George W.) Bush and Obama and over 200 shows in Iraq and Afghanistan for the USO.”
This came after Broadway star Holliday announced she won’t be performing with a truly cowardly statement of her own.
“I was honestly just thinking that I wanted my voice to be a healing and unifying force for hope through music to help our deeply polarized country,” Holliday wrote in an open letter, according to The Wrap. “Regretfully, I did not take into consideration that my performing for the concert would actually instead be taken as a political act against my own personal beliefs and be mistaken for support of Donald Trump and Mike Pence.”
