Greenwood Tells Fox: Appearing At NRA Convention Would Be Endorsing The Weapon That Killed Children

May 27, 2022 Mass Shootings, Republicans

“I just couldn’t go. It’s pretty obvious to me that to play – and I have to say the NRA cancelled its convention in 2020 and 2021, had moved it to Memorial Day on ‘22 – so we’re all contracted, a lot of us artists.

“The unfortunate shooting in Texas took place at a very bad time. And for me to go play at the NRA just days after the shooting would be an endorsement and people would then deem that as I like this weapon.

“And obviously, that weapon killed kids. And I just couldn’t go.” – Trump rally fixture Lee Greenwood, speaking to Fox hosts who quickly moved on to his Fox & Friends Memorial Day special.
