'Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & the Time will not be performing at the "Great American State Fair."'

The Commodores subsequently announced that they would not be performing at Freedom 250.

'Our music has always been our voice and we choose not to publicly affiliate with any single political party,' the funk act said in a statement on Instagram. 'We support the betterment of all Americans.'

Country music hitmaker Martina McBride also joined the list of cancellations on Thursday.

'I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading,' McBride wrote in an Instagram post, adding that she had 'asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states.

What a bunch of losers. Is it going to be Kid Rock and Vanilla Ice? Maybe they can make a hologram AI Trump to sing and dance.

Better Kid Rock and Vanilla Rice than giving a cent to anti-American entertainment.

They are dancing for their masters, their real Masters who they bow to for their silver demanded this.

Nothing more than Globalist Elites doing all they can to denigrate this country and our celebration, petty and hateful to the core.

They were invited. What happens after is fine.It sounds like the Trump administration wanted a mix of celebrities. He’ll get the ones that love America.

Makes it sound like they agreed to show, then someone got to them.

Never heard of Morris Day and the Time.

I’ve heard of the Commodores but it is heard to believe they are still playing at their age.

“He’ll get the ones that love America.”

…precisely. Lame media will do and say all they can to trash Trump and this event. TDS is real and can’t be fixed. Invite performers who have TDS and they could take advantage of the mic to Trash Trump and/or ICE.

I think in most cases, it is only a few, if any, of the original band members continuing to play. In the case of the Commodores, it may be only one original Roadie that still participates in the act.

“Trump’s connection to the concert was hidden from them.”

Trump is the president. The campaign is over.

Give Tom McDonald a ring..

He doesn’t answer to a label.

His “freedom not for sale” would be a good one or “can’t cancel all of us”

Right, we don't need to spend a penny to subsidize people who hate America!

I have not been to a 'Hollywood movie' for so long that I can't remember when it was that I actually PAID to sit there and put money in THEIR pockets.

Their movies are awful anyway!

You don’t need a huge lineup when you have Vanilla Ice.

This is great news. The last thing we need is a bunch of lying Lefties in the show. There are dozens of GREAT conservative musicians available.

nonpartisan event

Guess the concept that politicians show up at public events is an unknown concept. I’m sure she and her fellow artists have appeared at events where there were liberal politicians in attendance. Guess that does not stop their attendance?
