Charlotte Church Shuts Down Trump Inauguration Offer In Bold Tweet

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/charlotte-church-shuts-down-trump-inauguration-offer-in-one-tweet_us_5874d8d8e4b043ad97e59e27

Welsh singer Charlotte Church just became the latest musician to deny Donald Trump an Inauguration Day performance.

Claiming that his team had recently reached out to ask her to sing during the upcoming ceremony on Jan. 20, Church responded with a cheeky announcement over Twitter.

“A simple Internet search would show I think you’re a tyrant,” she wrote, addressing the president-elect.

and instead of upholding their Great Leader, they're all whining about Hillary.

I guess that's progress. They know Church is right and Trump is a spoiled little brat who would be king.

unless he wants to lose 80 pounds and three of his chins and hang around in the right kind of bars.

We need to keep the pressure on congress and no, it doesn't matter if your Rep and Senator are Republican hard liners. They need to know the folks back home are watching and they're not happy having that as president.

Nigel Farage stood down as the leader of Ukip, saying: "I want my life back."

Shortly after he made that announcement, Charlotte Church did what Charlotte Church does - and owned him on Twitter.

In response to Farage's "I want my life back" statement, Charlotte said: "I want my f*****g European Union back you piece of s***!"

They wanted so badly to be famous. They took a shortcut, and got shafted. The fallout might not have been so bad if they hadn't won a Grammy. Taking it back made it seem like "It's your fault we liked you so much!"

Jeepers. You think whoever is asking these people to perform for him would check if theres any chance they like him. Maybe they assume most people have no integrity and can be bought off i guess.

Maybe a Russian singer would do. Heck I bet Pussy Riot would love to perform at his inaugural.

and no one thinks this needs to be shouted out EVERY day all day on every news channel.

Pussy Riot would be great as they rip into the mosh pit. And getting torn to sheads.
