Pop singer Aaron Carter walked back his endorsement of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump over the weekend claiming to have received death threats over his public support and pledged to not vote in the upcoming election.
In February, Carter endorsed Trump by asking his 500 thousand followers, Does America want to have a president who FOLLOWS or someone who leads? I vote For @realdonaldtrump.
The 28-year-old was inundated with personal attacks and described as racist, xenophobic, and sexist by scores of Twitter users.
After one user asked others to contact the singers management team to request he be dropped for supporting bigotry, he responded, You have NO RIGHT to bully me and do this over my political views you need to stop I said the things I dont condone.
Carter took to Twitter on Sunday to claim he had been bullied out of voting for Trump.
After one of Carters followers posted, [You] voting for trump but I still love [you], he replied: I honestly dont think I will at this point. Ive been bullied so badly because of it I dont even want to vote now.
The singer and brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter then wrote that he had received death threats over his Trump endorsement, after another follower told him he should exercise his right to vote.
The singer later wrote: And I actually thinks its quite contradicting that people come at me for my beliefs but are doing the exact thing to me that they hate.

Pussy
Do we still have a secret ballot in this country?
‘ZACKLY !
Wrong answer
This is disgusting on two levels: that a person has his life threatened because he wants to exercise his right to vote, and that he will give in and refuse to vote because of it.
I am becoming what the opposition keeps accusing me of being, which I have not been, but I am becoming: VERY VERY VERY ANGRY. If that makes the Left happy, so be it; they will not like the effects.
What a coward!
Don’t patronize this farkin’ weasel. Whatta crybaby!
First problem: listening to anything which comes off of Twitter.
Wow, the Left sure is tolerant./sarcasm
And people wonder why the polls are skewed toward Hillary.
Is this person a ‘snowflake’ and doesn’t want his feelings hurt, or is he a real man with brass balls?
Coward!
A yellow belly coward.
The kind of coward that would sit back and watch another man take his woman into their bed.
A useless, weak, neutered, idiotic tool.
So he will let the other side win.
This is not a good lesson to convey to others.
After all, stand by your convictions if you are going to air them publicly.
I bet he isn’t even registered to vote.
No wonder! He has Kasich hair. Ck out the pic.
Agreed on both counts.
A real profile of courage there. Way to stand by your convictions!
