Jennifer Holiday backs out of Trumps Rodeo..

Apologizes to LGBT Community..Will Stand with them..

It amazes me that she was ignorant of Trump’s Hatred....

But I guess she was in the confides of the so called “Celebrity Bubble” which often takes stars on rides which are only about them and their performances.

There is an update of her withdrawal on this link..

I can't really blame her for being ignorant to it. We know it because we follow politics 24/7, but if you only catch the evening news every once and a while, your impression of Trump could be quite different.

She was saying that she was playing for the people on the green and I felt like looking over what Trump is.

"“I’m singing on the mall for the people,” she said. “I don’t have a dog in this fight — I’m just a singer, and it’s a welcome concert for the people on the mall.”

They don't mind performing for Trump till people find out and get mad. I'm betting he gets someone "last minute" too late for us to influence them to back out.
