We support the betterment of all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rapper Young MC and Morris Day and The Time withdrew on Wednesday, hours after the event was announced.<\/p>\n<p>As one of the event\u2019s biggest stars, McBride has infuriated Trump loyalists with her decision to leave the show. They attacked the singer on social media, even though her message did not mention the president by name.<\/p>\n<p>Trump ally Richard Grenell shared McBride\u2019s message on his X account with the caption, \u201cYou\u2019ve always been a woke Lefty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grenell is no stranger to musical acts wishing to escape the political stench around Trump. He was interim president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, until Trump closed the failing venue for renovations in March.<\/p>\n<p>During his time presiding over the venue, Grenell had to deal with a string of artists who axed their gigs at the once-iconic center after Trump had his name added to the front of the building.<\/p>\n<p>Finding a post claiming the string of MAGA-related cancellations from the State Fair was \u201csad,\u201d a triggered Grenell shared it and added, \u201cThe Intolerance is coming from your side. Why can\u2019t you people be around people that disagree with you politically?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=231\">Erika Kirk Responds to Claims She\u2019s Moved on From Charlie<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other Republicans were quick to search for footage of McBride performing for Democrats, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Referencing how McBride started her statement, conservative broadcaster and former Fox News host Todd Starnes posted on X, \u201cSince you are clearing the air, how about explaining why you performed at the White House during the Obama regime? Or during Bill Clinton\u2019s scandalous presidency?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One conservative posted on X that McBride was \u201canother hypocritical fraud\u201d for saying yes to Obama and no to Trump, while one called her \u201cpathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A former Trump fundraiser said on X while McBride \u201cthinks it\u2019s too controversial\u201d to perform at the state fair, \u201cI\u2019m sure she will be singing at a James Talarico LGBTQI rally in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One social media user even compared McBride to the Dixie Chicks, who had conservative members of the country community turn on them after singer Natalie Maines said she was ashamed to be from the same state as former President George W. Bush, days before the Iraq war started.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere I was excited and planning on taking a day off so my whole family could all go to the Mall and see Martina McBride and have some patriotic fun, and now I hope she just gets Dixie Chick\u2019d,\u201d a Republican  wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>Podcast host Caleb Parke was one of many who referenced McBride\u2019s 1994 hit \u201cIndependence Day,\u201d despite the song\u2019s actual meaning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t sing \u2018Independence Day\u2019 on the National Mall to celebrate America\u2019s 250th? Lol,\u201d Parke wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndependence Day\u201d was also used by conservative host Sean Hannity as the opening music for his radio show from shortly after the 9\/11 attacks until 2014.<\/p>\n<p>However, the song, written by Gretchen Peters, actually tells the story of an 8-year-old girl trapped in a domestic violence situation, before her mother burns down their house on July 4 to escape an abusive husband, making it her personal independence day. It has nothing to do with the nation\u2019s anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen your song is assigned an entire set of cultural values based on a false premise (it was never a song about America, it was always a song about a woman who was trying to save her own life and that of her child) it starts to feel tainted,\u201d Peters wrote on her blog.<\/p>\n<p>Another conservative claimed McBride had \u201clost us as fans,\u201d and said her career \u201cwill pretty much end\u201d because of the amount of \u201cMAGA country music fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=229\">U.S. Ally Sounds Alarm on Jet Fuel Crisis as Trump\u2019s War Rages<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted reps for McBride for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country superstar Martina McBride\u2019s abrupt withdrawal from a Trump-affiliated musical event has provoked a furious online MAGA meltdown.
