Trolls Are Now Trying To Cancel Briley King For Performing The National Anthem At A Trump Rally In 2022

How are these people not exhausted from being outraged all the time?

Obviously we live in a hyper-partisan society these days, and a celebrity even appearing to supporting a candidate from the other side is an offense worthy of cancelation to many (though it seems to be mainly those on the left).

Of course there are plenty of country singers who support President Donald Trump and are doing just fine for themselves, including names like Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Travis Tritt and Justin Moore, among others. But for many, it’s apparently an unforgivable sin to support…the current president.

Insanity.

Well the left’s latest target is Briley King, the incredibly talented wife of Marcus King (who also happens to be one of the most talented artists in country music).

Briley recently went viral over on TikTok with a clip of her singing a cover of “The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia.”

I mean, it’s crazy how good it is. The clip has already racked up 8 million views, nearly a million likes, and over 14,000 posts using the sound from her video. And naturally, many are begging Briley to get into the studio and record it ASAP – something that she may have hinted at yesterday when she posted a video from the recording studio.

But of course, before supporting Briley, there were plenty of people who had to check…who she voted for.

And while the singer doesn’t appear to have publicly endorsed anyone during the 2024 presidential election, she did perform at a rally for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump back in 2022, singing the national anthem ahead of his event in Selma, North Carolina.

(This was back before her and Marcus were married, and she was still going by her maiden name, Briley Hussey. And of course, she crushed it).

Because people clearly have nothing better to do, there are quite a few who have taken to TikTok to encourage others not to share Briley’s video because she’s a “Trumper.”

And where there were plenty of people defending Briley in the comments and pointing out that, yes, it’s possible to enjoy an artist even if you don’t agree with their politics, there were just as many unhinged people swearing to never listen to her again:

“wait…..this is actually the worst news i’ve ever heard”

“my hearts broken. i didn’t know this about her”

“It’s unfortunate but it does have to be this way! She is a great vocalist & is very talented, but I can choose not to listen or support”

“Omg devastated to learn this.”

“I followed her immediately after hearing it, then saw the comments & proof. UNFOLLOWED!”

“when I tell you I had to take my video in supportive this song down expeditiously because absolutely not.”

“I saw the vid then did a deep dive and fell in love with them. Such a cute souther couple then I saw the Trump Rally. You know who never fails us?? THE CHICKS. Go listen to the chicks”

Like I said, it’s genuinely insane. I mean, listen to whoever you want to for whatever reason you want, but you’re going to miss out on some pretty great music if you insist on only listening to artists who think like you.

Personally, I think a lot of people need to go touch grass.The post Trolls Are Now Trying To Cancel Briley King For Performing The National Anthem At A Trump Rally In 2022 first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
