Rep. Jamie Raskin Respectfully Disagrees With Trump’s Springsteen ‘Loser’ Diss: ‘America Has No Kings, But We’ve Got One Boss

Just hours after a White House comms director Steven Cheung referred to Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bruce Springsteen as a “loser” in a pun-filled statement denigrating the rock legend’s announcement of an upcoming U.S. arena tour, Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin had his own spicy retort. “America has no kings, but we’ve got one Boss and his name is Bruce Springsteen,” wrote Raskin, a consistent burr in Trump’s heel, on X on Wednesday (Feb. 18). “Unlike our faux-King, the Boss fights for freedom and democracy for everyone. I cannot wait to hear him sing ‘Streets of Minneapolis’ loud enough to rattle the walls of what’s left of the White House.”

Owwwww! Wow jamie. Who penned your spicy retort? The boss himself. Talk about losers. Jamie and multi millionaire common man bruce. No talent POS. He's almost as awsome as bow no and u2 and their ignorant screeching. As far as no king? They have no f**king clue. Guess these commie muses don't know how their hero zero che felt about performers. Buh bye! What assclowns.

Bruce Springsteen music sucks regardless of his politics. If there is one “boss” in rock n roll it’s James Patrick Page.

“The movie “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” had a budget of $55 million and has grossed approximately $45 million worldwide, resulting in a loss of about $10 million.”

There’s nothing respectable about Ratskin. It’s no wonder his son committed suicide in December 2020. Probably couldn’t stand the thought of Biden as President.

Just another empty vessel, ginning up the ignorant Dem voting base. It's all he does.

Right! I can’t imagine Raskin thinking of Trump in any respectful manner.

He ain’t my Boss and never was. It was a cool song until he told us what he really thought.

For shame. Jamie, ended what was left of Bruce's tattered, tired, old, not cool at all persona. Bruce's music was a big nothing and sucks. Only elitist snobs pushed him as a "SuperStar."

Jamie, go after the Rock next. :D Please

I can't decide who is the worst. Bono or Bruce. It's a close tie.

The dummy must not know that Springsteen hates the term The Boss in referring to him

...empty vessel...
~~~

INSTANTLY reminded me of this...

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first.” Mat 12:43-45

Springsteen sucks. Two good albums, then over-produced garbage.

Brucie Springsteen is a real downer, living off of "Greetings" for the last 50 years.

He is an historical parasite that if not for Clarence Clemmons, Max Weinberg, and Little Stevie, would be as relevant as Millie Vanille.

He was "Born to Run", so please do so.

If Donald Trump was actually a king, Ratskin wouldn’t be able to shoot his mouth off like that.
