Mar 27

then it was hijacked by Tr**p and the MAGA's. Greenwood appeared and sung it at a number of Tr**p rallies and became a Tr**p supporter.

I lost all respect for Greenwood and now when I hear that song being played - I can only associate it with the most un-American traitor in history - Tr**p.

The song turns my stomach now and Greenwood lost me.
