While President Trump took shots at Democrats in conservative Pensacola, Florida on Saturday, Jimmy Buffett hurled musical insults at Republicans in West Palm Beach during a Democratic campaign rally for U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson and gubernatorial candidate and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum.
While singing his hit Come Monday at the Get Out the Vote rally, Buffett tweaked its lyrics to make a dig at Trump changing Come Monday to Come Tuesday, things will change. Come Tuesday, were making a change. Its been two insane years and its time to really switch gears. The musicians show at the Meyer Amphitheatre took place just three miles from Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort.

Buffett didnt stop there: During his performance of Margaritaville, he called out Scott for the states environmental issues: Some people say that theres a red tide to blame, but I know that its all Rick Scotts fault.
During the last several months, red tide algae have killed millions of fish off the southern Florida coasts, which happens naturally but worsens from pollution. Its not surprising that Buffett, who resides in Palm Beach, spoke out about the subject as he is a longtime environmentalist, founding his charity Save the Manatee in 1981.
