Outrage as pro-Trump rapper and country singer release pro-lynching song: 'Hang 'em up high at sundown'

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 don’t 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 grandaddy’s way works best.”

They don't have to pretend anymore. There’s a criminal in the White House and the Congress and the Supreme Court are cheering him on.

It’s best not to draw any attention to this at all. The fascists will push it right up the charts for spite. Just like they did without other idiotic, racist songs In the past.
