Trump suffers a meltdown after musicians boycott his Freedom Festival

Just days after the lineup was announced, acts like Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC and others informed their fans that they would not be participating.

According to McBride, she withdrew after apparently coming to believe it was “an impartial event.”

“I asked a lot of questions and was assured that this was a nonpartisan event designed to celebrate ALL 50 states,” McBride said on Instagram, adding that she quit after “things started to change.”

Michaels also revealed that when he was first presented with the idea, “it was described as a celebration of our country through music and an opportunity to honor our veterans, active military, first responders, teachers and hardworking Americans from all walks of life.”

However, the Poison frontman revealed that it would later “evolve into something much more divisive.” Michaels explained that his decision to quit was not “about politics,” but rather about “staying true to what I’ve always believed in.”
