Bruce Springsteen continues to alienate fans as he shills for Democrats and the left with his latest rant focused on Minneapolis.
The billionaire rocker, whom President Donald Trump described as an “obnoxious jerk” last year, crashed a charity concert in New Jersey and turned a night of entertainment into a political platform as he railed against Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts in Minnesota.
His 1978 song “The Promised Land” took on new meaning as “The Boss” explained to the crowd at Red Rock that he was dedicating it to Renee Good, the leftist activist who interfered with ICE agents in Minneapolis and was shot after allegedly driving her vehicle towards them.
“I don’t want to be out of order tonight,” said Springsteen after he made a surprise appearance at the charity event.
Bruce Springsteen: “If you stand against heavily armed masked federal troops invading an American city using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens. If you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercizing your American right to protest, then send a message to this… pic.twitter.com/9DguCi8UJ6

“But, I wrote this song as an ode to American possibility, it was (about) both the beautiful but flawed country that we are, and to the country that we could be,” he said, according to videos posted online.
“If you believe in democracy, in liberty, if you believe that truth still matters, that it’s worth speaking out, that it is worth fighting for, if you believe in the power of the law and no one stands above it, if you stand against heavily-armed masked federal troops invading American cities and using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens, if you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, then send a message to this president,” he railed.
“And as the mayor of that city has said, ‘ICE should get the f— out of Minneapolis,'” Springsteen declared to roaring approval as he echoed the words of leftist Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
“So this one is for you, and the memory of the mother of three and American citizen Renee Good,” Springsteen said.
The rocker has repeatedly bashed Trump and his supporters, speaking out at concerts across the globe. But, in a Time Magazine feature last year, the outlet noted that “something else haunts him: the very people he sings about have flocked to Trump.”
Springsteen’s latest diatribe garnered virtual applause from his fans on social media, but plenty of others have had enough of his “ignorant” and hypocritical takes.
Bruce Springsteen is ignorant as ever. Everything he says is wrong.
