Singer John Legend was slammed on Tuesday after footage emerged of him calling Donald Trump a white supremacist.
A lifelong liberal, Legend - along with wife Chrissy Teigen - has called Trump a 'dyed in the wool racist' with Trump describing him as a 'boring musician' and Teigen as 'filthy-mouthed' for calling him a 'p***y-a** b****' in 2019.
Now, a clip of The Voice judge speaking at The Fifteen Percent Pledge's 15th Street Block Party in Hollywood in February has surfaced with Legend again going all in on his distaste for the president.
'America made a decision that I strongly disagree with and it seems that we are reaping the whirlwind right now,' Legend said of Trump's victory.
He described Trump as 'a terrible leader, especially in a crisis' and accused Trump of, weeks into his second term, 'blaming,' 'dividing' and 'misinforming people.'
Legend - real name John Roger Stephens - said Trump should have been 'bringing people together' instead.
The moderator than asked why Trump has 'latched on to diversity so much' in front of a marquee that read 'DEI is more than just a headline.'
'Well, he's a bigot. It's a belief that there's a hierarchy of racial groups and that his group is superior, genetically superior,' Legend said to applause from the crowd.

Is there a more politically correct Hollyweird couple that this dufus and his wife? I looked at Amazon, and going by the numbers of reviews, her cookbooks are best sellers.
Can’t recall ever hearing of him.
Why do we make people like this rich with our consumer dollars? Cut the cord.
This surprises anyone?
The guy is a Leftist doofus. Why would anyone pay him any attention in the political arena? Because celebrity?
We really need to get over the idea that actors and singers are serious people, something more than entertainers.
John who?
“He and wife Teigen were one of many celebrities who swore they’d leave America if Trump won in 2020.”
But Trump won in 2024 and they won’t leave NOW?? Go away.
I suppose he hasn’t seen the diverse makeup of Trump’s Cabinet.
“Can’t recall ever hearing of him.”
Same here. Who is he? Stevie Wonder?
I cannot think of anything nice to say about this man, so I’ll keep my mouth shut.
He's a legend in his own mind.
Who’s John Legend? He can’t be much of a legend if I don’t know who he is.
Defamatory and slanderous..................
He’s a legend in his own mind............
President Donald J Trump has never EVER been a racist or white supremacist. but then these less than smart whackjobs call him hitler too so...
He’s the definition of racist..the entire left is.
I didn’t know he was a singer.
Chrissy Teigen, because John Legend couldn’t afford a blow-up doll for bedtime...
The guy married to the supermodel. I think she’s a supermodel.
John will be coming out of the closet soon.
No idea what John Legend has contributed to pop culture, but I think he is trouble. His wife is also trouble.
