Country Star Says He's 'Embarrassed And Scared' By Response To Song That Triggered MAGA

Source: Huffington Post

Country singer Zach Bryan denounced any assumptions about his political affiliation Tuesday after throwing MAGA conservatives into a meltdown over anti-ICE lyrics featured in a snippet of his upcoming song, claiming he’s “neither of these radical sides.”

“And ICE is gonna come, bust down your door /Try to build a house no one builds no more /But I got a telephone /Kids are all scared and all alone,” Bryan sings in a clip captioned “the fading of red, white, and blue.”

Actually, all he probably cares about are the millions he's earned from that wretched, miserable anthem of atrocity....

7. Next time, Zach, write the song, but sell it to someone else to sing if you don't want your life threatened

by the violent, heavily-armed, free-speech-hating, moms-basement-dwelling, cancel-culture snowflake fascist incels that make up MAGA

Either that, or 'nad the fuck up and stand by the message conveyed by your art
