Trump critic Bruce Springsteen, 75, fires up crowd at Minneapolis No Kings rally as he leads stars at protests

Liberal lion Bruce Springsteen led the lineup at the Minneapolis-St. Paul branch of the No Kings rallies taking place in cities across America on Saturday.

The events were set up to express left-wing opposition to various Trump administration policies, including the ICE raids and the Iran War.

Minneapolis was a nexus of anti-ICE demonstrations at the start of this year, with outrage against the government intensifying after two protestors - Alex Pretti and Renee Good - were killed in encounters with federal law enforcement.

Springsteen, a longtime Democrat who opened Joe Biden's inauguration special and has been a vociferous critic of Donald Trump, released a song on January called Streets of Minneapolis as a reaction to the bloodshed.

He performed the song this Saturday during the rally held the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, which is one of the 'Twin Cities' along with neighboring Minneapolis.

'Well, this past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city,' Springsteen trumpeted onstage.

At Saturday's No Kings rally at the Minnesota State Capitol, the trio of Rogers, Baez and Morello performed Bob Dylan's The Times They Are A-Changin'

These libtards are beyond stupid. If we actually had a monarch, protests would be forbidden.

These protesters claim Trump is a king while openly protesting his administration

I’m reminded of that quote from the movie “The Princess bride”: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means”

I don’t think they know what a King is or what a Nazi is yet they keep using those words.

How is Trump a King? Did he - like Obama- mandate everybody buy Obamacare or be punished?

Did he mandate everybody take the experimental Covid vaccine or lose their job like Biden did?

From what I can tell Trump has been securing the border and protecting the citizenry from drugs and terrorism like he is required to do, was elected to do. How does that make him a King but Obama and Biden are not? These idiots have no idea what a King is same thing with what a racist is.

The Democrats don't want a king, unless it is a king of their choosing!! What's the difference between Bruce Springsteen and a pile of dog poo?

Answer: 'The dog poo is smarter!!'

Exactly why Springsteen sucks. But hey, he’s free to make his own choices...seems there’s no king after all.

Liberal Lion, no Jersey man for Ole Brucey. Except he is not a liberal, he is a babystabbing leftist.

Take back the language.

Oh good God, Tom Morello the commie who praised Castro was there. He wears Soviet buttons, pushes communism, but like all these morons he has no issue taking every advantage of capitalism

Gee dude, you are just so radical man, you are just such a rebel.

CCCP, gee what a rebel

After the last big No Kings event in June, Trump allegedly posted a Truth:

“A HUGE THANK YOU to all the ‘No Kings’ protestors yesterday. I was very concerned a king was trying to take my place, but thanks to your tireless efforts, I AM STILL YOUR PRESIDENT. Great job all!”

Don Jr. said the post is fake, but it sure sounds like something the POTUS team would post.

Springsteen wants the leftwing politburu back in power running people’s lives again. It was a big club and Springsteen was in it. It really irks him and his elite friends to see the people taking back their government from the likes of him.

50 years ago I thought Springsteen was just a poor man’s Bob Dylan. He seemed to be at least 10 years too late. The only song of his that I won’t change the station on is the studio version of “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out”. Other than that, I’ve been freezing out Springsteen altogether ever since “Born To Run” was on like 20x a day.
