He just keeps digging his hole. And lying too - he literally spoke out repeatedly for Ukraine and went to Ukraine.
But Gaza apparently, nope, that’s too political and bad for ‘families’. Hypocrite.
- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.
Fuck him.
imagine if someone in 2016 told me that in 10 years I’d have more respect for Macklemore than Radiohead. the kind of prediction that medieval kings used to kill their seers for making.
@ItsMikeTee they literally booted macklemore off of the tour bc they don’t want profit to dip. what makes you think he’d cancel the tour after doing that?
told you the israel advocacy orgs would hit the venues hard. its quite remarkable how much they exercise control over free expression.
being for palestinian emancipation is the moral majority position, and yet, corporations still cave to these ridiculous pressure campaigns.
Kanye West did a song titled Heil Hitler and is currently doing a concert tour, which has included multiple dates at Raymond James stadium in Tampa that has banned Macklemore for saying end the genocide & free Palestine
fucking absurd
