The playing of Lee Greenwood’s song “God Bless The USA” at the protest angered the singer.
“I am furious that they used my song in an attempt to give strength to their event, and do not condone their behavior and its use in conjunction with a suggested lynching, even one that is purely symbolic,” Greenwood said in a statement.
I suppose he had to say something but I’d rather he hadn’t injected himself into an event that had nothing to do with him.
No disrespect to Lee Greenwood, but tarring and feathering tyrannical politicians was a pretty common practice when the country he sang so eloquently about was being formed.
Unlike in those instances Governor Beshear was not actually harmed in any way here.
