Yeah our local paper had an article on this guy who had a petition going around for a protest on the MTC performing for the inauguration for the same reasons! It seems he’s supposed to have around 17,000 signatures, and he’s going to give it to the people in charge of the choir. He carried on in a prima-donna fit about the choir having performing at Donald’s swearing in!
It seems that they all have the same tiresome excuse that they can’t possibly be going to perform for Trump! He claims he speaks for thousands of Mormons around the world, and that they felt the same way he did, and that the Mormon officials needed to listen, blah, blah, blah... that he was broken-hearted, and his heart just sank when he heard they were going to perform, blah blah blah...
Good grief where did these cry-babies come from all of a sudden? The Tabernacle Choir performed for Pres. Johnson, and he was no angel in his past, either. Yet I imagine there were no cry-babies taking up a petition in those days to beg them not to perform. What a soft, spoiled and silly bunch of people we have in this country now a days!
I wonder what they would’ve done if Hillary had won, and she had asked them to come? I suspect we would’ve heard crickets! But the news just has to chase these few people around and print only their silly, crying protests! I also suspect that a lot of those names on there are fake, or are not really from the Mormon church, or if there’s as many as they claim are on the petition. Both Trump/Pence have families with young kids, as well as adults, who might want to hear the Mormon choir perform, it’s a family friendly performance event.
It’s as if they want to control everything, and they don’t want Trump/Pence’s families and others have any entertainment at all! They have no right to decide who Trump/Pence invite to perform, and they have no right to tell people/groups when and where they can perform and who for!
I got to catch the Tabernacle Choir in person during their Thursday night practice a few years ago. It was AMAZING ...they warm up but singing HALF note scales! That was an evening I'll never forget...and it was just "practice." I look forward to the performance.
