Following his cancellation of a concert in North Carolina over a law that prohibits transgender people from using bathrooms other than their biological sex, Bruce Springsteen declared that South Carolina will be next on his "s**t list" if Governor Nikki Haley insists on using the "archaic" way of identifying herself as Indian.
"I mean, it's 2016, who still says they're Indian? This isn't 19th century America, we recognize these people are actually Native Americans," said Springsteen, adding "if Governor Haley wants to disrespect herself that's her business, but I will not play another concert in South Carolina as long as she's governor if she doesn't start using the proper term 'Native American.'"
While she is a natural born American citizen Governor Haley's parents are immigrants from India, a fact that did little to change Springsteen's view on the matter.
Said an indignant Springsteen, "you mean there's a whole country of people who still think like this? Well, that's just one more place that will never be blessed enough to host a concert by me! Equality for all is too important an issue, and anyone who doesn't stand for equality doesn't stand with me, The Boss."
When reached for a comment Governor Haley declined to respond directly to Springsteen noting, "as a Republican I'm not fluent in indignant liberal hypocrisy, and I left my jackass to English translator at home, so I have no comment at this time."
OK Bruce then boycott Massachusetts because of Pocahontas Warren?
Discounting the loudness, it was the worst concert I had ever attended........It wasn't Springsteen, it was Sproingsteen shouting into the microphone the whole night..........
I don't know how or where this bonafide "has been" gets his audiences but in my humble opinion, it's a gross waste of money..........
Dint I read that brucie was getting farm subsidies from his liberal friends the clintons
Governor Haley said, “I’m dot, not feather, bro!”
Bobby Jindal is another one of those Native Americans.
thought so....
Idiot. But, shhhhh, no one tell him. It’s fun to watch.
By the way, Indian civilization far predates the vast majority of those acknowledged in history!

Springsteen is a twit. He needs to boycott Oklahoma cities as well considering the state derived it’s name from the Choctaw which meant “red people.” I think his cute earring is too tight and has squeezed his pea-sized brain.
He should just stay in Asbury Park.
The ignorance shown by liberal useful idiots can be astonishing sometimes. Her family is Sikh.
The Left’s answer to Ted Nugent but he’s not as smart or entertaining. “Dancing in the Dark” and “Glory Days” - good music. “Freeway of Love” is great. After that, what’s he done that is musically significant? “Rise”? OK, hearthfelt, I’m sure, but his leftist stupidity demeans him in many ways.
Maybe he should join Cheryl Crowe’s one piece of toilet paper campaign, or “Save the Whales”.
I’m sure South Carolina will survive without hearing his caterwalling.
Asbury Park is beneath this coward
He is like Michael Moore, likes the best of the best, while pretending to be a working stiff
To #21: Good photo of a phoney-baloney Indian selling her chicken-pork meat.
I think God likes funning with us sane folk.
They have to start labeling satire in the headline. My ticker can’t take too much more of this.
He lives in Colts Neck, New Jersey, a wealthy area with many golf courses, including a Trump International Colts Neck.
I wonder if it bothers Springsteen that a Trump property is in his town?
What a dolt. Sometimes (most of the time), celebrities need to do some research before opening their big, fat mouths.
