A white rapper known for viral anthems supporting Donald Trump and Republican officials has released a music video with a country singer calling for public lynchings.
Over a banjo riff, the chorus of Good vs Evil from MAGA rapper Forgiato Blow and country singer JJ Lawhorn repeats instructions for hanging people at sundown, an apparent reference to sundown towns that violently enforce racial segregation.
The song calls for a big tall tree and a short piece of rope to hang em up high at sundown and leave em swinging so the folks all know you dont mess around in our town.
A verse from Forgiato Blow, whose real name is Kurt Jantz, lists three white murder victims whose killer or accused killers are Black and Latino. He named the killings of Austin Metcalf, Laken Riley, and Iryna Zarutska, who was fatally stabbed on a bus in North Carolina. Jantz says she was killed by a n******.
Later, Lawhorn sings we ought to do it like they did it way back in the day because grandaddys way works best.
