Pop star Macklemore has generated quite a buzz recently with his "Free Palestine" messaging while on Ed Sheeran's "Loop Tour."
The 43-year-old musician was kicked off the tour following backlash from his pro-Palestine stance, but there have been a few "woke" celebrities who have come to Macklemore's defense.
Following the Seattle native's pledge to donate $1 million to Palestinian aid organizations, children's YouTube star Ms. Rachel said she would match his donation and urged "every wealthy White celebrity" to do the same.
Ms. Rachel isn't the only one to throw her public support behind Macklemore, though, as Formula One driver and Denver Broncos minority partner Lewis Hamilton took to social media to praise the rapper for his stance.
Mr. Hamilton commented under Macklemore's Instagram statement on the matter, pledging to "stand" in solidarity with him.

So he is also a neo nazi?
I know. Do a benefit show in Palestine.
Guess “never again!” doesn’t mean ‘never’, ‘never’?
They probably will get Macklemore to do the Super Bowl halftime show.
Hamilton is the ultimate liberal hypocrite....whines about “climate change” but has a second home in Vail, Colorado and get their from England by flying on his private jet....
Would often criticize American politics despite knowing half the story...
Now he’s standing with a Jew hater...
I see a slippery slope here. Political statements are not allowed on the field by players. Does that include owners in their offices? If the NFL really wants to keep the owners out of politics the team is going to give up a high draft pick. That will stop them.
At some point the genie is out of the bottle. Think hands up and Jerry Jones kneeling during the national anthem. He was scared and so is the NFL otherwise valuable commercial time would not have been given to the Colin Kaepernick kneel.
Of course, the Left always says, “It’s not political!”
Ticket prices for an Ed Sheeran concert range from $140 to $5000. Most of them seem to be in the $200 range. How can any economy be really bad if people fill stadiums to hear music at those prices? Concerts are definitely not the basics of food, clothing and shelter.
I cannot stand the sight of Lewis Hamilton.
yup- when i watch F1 races i root against Hamilton more than root for any other driver- so sick of his hypocritical LW woke BS...
She uses wealth from her Toddler Learning Videos to promote terrorism.
He’s a great F1 driver. Everything else I’ve ever heard about him is pretty much in the negative. He also dresses like a clown most of the time.
Where IS the country Palestine? 🤠
There’s a Palestine, Texas. That’s all I know of.
I’ve paid $160 for an opera soprano’s concert. I’ve paid $500 in a charity auction for NASCAR All Star tickets.
Pop music concerts are $140 for just the worst of the worst sections (think the other end zone). I was just 20 feet away from the singer. (I normally pay $50 for her concerts — those first two I also met her but not this time but with a seat that had great acoustics and could see her.
I guess these virtue signaling chitheads have no clue the money they donate will wind up buying more weapons and supplies for Hamas so they can perpetuate murder of innocent people.
The Nazis keep crawling out of their ratholes. At least we can see who they are now
“Sir” Lewis Hamilton is a UK Formula One former champion who is a small shareholder of the 2022 buyers of the Denver Broncos.
Its controlled by members of the Walton Family (Walmart) and investment firms that include Condoleeza Rice.
I haven’t been able to find other owners names, but the public faces are several members of the Walton Family, Rice, Hamilton and a hedge-fund manager (and chair of Starbucks Board) named Mellody Hobson.
While Hamilton certainly is wealthy, he is not at all close to being a billionaire, and of course, he’s a UK citizen.
I imagine the politics of the Denver Broncos are now quite “woke” and deep-state.
> pledge to donate $1 million to Palestinian aid organizations <
What percent of such donations actually reach needy Palestinians?
My wild guess:
20% to the needy
80% to swindlers
And I’m probably being too generous here.
