NEIL YOUNG Slams DONALD TRUMP and Urges Americans to “Rise Up Peacefully” After ICE Shooting.
Earlier this week, a woman named Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. In a new post on his website, Neil Young addressed the mounting tensions in the US surrounding the incident and the broader unrest both leading up to and following the shooting.
“While looking out the window, I see the biggest mess I’ve ever witnessed, right here in the United States, this great country I have believed in for decades. It’s right here. Right now,” the musician began.
“Wake up, people! Today the USA is a disaster,” Young wrote. “Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters, inexperienced leaders who only know how to lie to keep favor with Trump’s falseness so they can hold their unearned positions in his inept government, a Congress full of Republicans acting like idiots with no conscience.
“He has divided us. How did we elect these creeps who have no spin, no values, no conscience, no way to save the USA.”
“We need to take Trump at his word,” he continued. “Make America Great Again. It won’t be easy while he is trying to turn our cities into battlegrounds so he can cancel our elections with marshal law and escape all accountability.
“Something has to change this. We know what to do. Rise up. Peacefully in millions. Too many innocent people are dying.”
Concluding his post, Young added: “It’s ICE cold here in America. There was no ICE before Trump. No soldiers in the streets before Trump. Every move he makes is to build instability so he can stay in power. He knows nothing about love. He does not know who you are. Use your love of life, your love of one another, your love of children, yours and theirs and ours. Peacefully. Now.”
