Jennifer Holliday Pulls Out of Inauguration Performance, Apologizes to LGBT Community (Exclusive) Jennifer Holliday has canceled her appearance at Donald Trump’s inauguration event next week, calling her decision to perform a “lapse of judgement.”
In an open letter, provided exclusively to TheWrap, the “Dreamgirls” star apologized to the LGBT community, saying she was “uneducated on the issues that affect every American at this crucial time in history and for causing such dismay and heartbreak to my fans.”
The Tony and Grammy winner came under fire from some of her fans on Friday after it was announced that she was set to perform at a concert as part of Trump’s inauguration festivities.

Cave to the Gaystapo, no sympathy.
Do not appreciate her style. She is marginally talented, poorly trained, and disturbingly affected.
it’s because of Pence.
They don’t like his views on LGBTQFUBAR.
To tell you how far removed I am from the mainstream, after getting your response, I had to go back to the thread to see who she was again. OK so there may be a little aging factor there :)
At least she won’t be forced to attend camp for further indoctrination.
She’d never work again if she did it. The gay B’way crowd is vile. Absolutely vile. It was a mistake to let them take over the great white way so completely.
In fact, note that the congressional record shows that John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A), had clarified the following limits concerning Section 5 of 14A, Section 5 giving Congress the power to strengthen only constitutionally enumerated rights.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
14th Amendment, Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
“Mr. Speaker, this House may safely follow the example of the makers of the Constitution and the builders of the Republic, by passing laws for enforcing all the privileges and immunities of the United States as guaranteed by the amended Constitution and expressly enumerated in the Constitution [emphasis added].” —John Bingham, Congressional Globe, House of Representatives, 42nd Congress, 1st Session. (See lower half of third column.)
The problem with low-information, LGBT-indoctrinated citizens is the following. They don’t seem to understand that the post-17th Amendment ratification, state sovereignty-ignoring Congress, working in cahoots with lawless Obama, have been exploiting LGBT-indoctrinated citizens in the followiwg way. The feds have been using constitutionally nonexistant federal powers to establish national policy that protects constitutionally non-enumerated, politically correct LGBT “rights” in order win the votes of misguided LGBT people imo.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
No, she’s a talented singer and performer. She came to prominence as the female lead in “Dreamgirls.”
She’s famous for singing what could well be Obama’s signature tune: “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going.”
Cowards
Celeb Free Inauguration Day suits me just fine.
If there is not a single Trump supporting entertainer volunteering to perform for the 45th President, so be it.
Scratching around expecting Hollywood to perform for our side is like looking for a North Korean office holder to represent this inauguration.
It looks bad and it’s unnecessary.
LOL!! HA!HA!HA! Wow. So true.
I find it embarrassing that the TRUMP team gives a rip about Hollywood and the entertainment world.
To be seen soliciting for these communist inspired Neanderthals is embarrassing.
They should be lined up and competing for the honor. If they are not, then I am relieved that they’re not coming.
I would like to see Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band play for President Trump!
Gary is a GREAT PATRIOT and flies to Iraq and Afghanistan to play for our Troops.
I wish I knew how to suggest him to PEOTUS Trump!
I betcha Gary would do it!
I LOVE the guy. He and his family lived in a Chicago suburb near where I grew up...and he went to a high school which was in my high school's sports conference...namely, Highland Park, Illinois.
He's a director, an actor and a musician. He's GOP, 56 years old, married to the same beautiful lady for over 30 years, they have three children, he's a great fan of the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs. He entertains the troops!
Best of all, he has great middle-west values, ethics and principles....and his career has flourished accordingly.
What more could you ask for in a talented entertainer!
I hope everyone here supports his professional endeavors, whether concerts, films or recordings. He's one of us!

Waiting for her apology for this exponentially larger mistake, to the other 99.5% of our nation.
These entertainers haven't got the brain cells to figure out simply concepts.
so comical when some of these “stars” think they are doing the right thing but really only making a bigger problem for themselves. No patriotism, just selfish motives, very UnAmerican.
I don’t think he gives a rip. He’s just not one to let an insult slip by. Sort of like a stallion swatting flies.
A few years back I decided to do the opposite. I avoid all entertainment music, acting etc, unless I know it’s supporting a worthy cause or people I know are patriotic or Christian or similar. I’ll not give my money to any of them. Same goes for all other shopping etc.
+ infinity
Excellent Idea!!!
