Popular country star fires back after Trump White House outrage: 'I love this country'

Country singer-songwriter Zach Bryan broke his silence over a controversy circulating across MAGA world and the White House.

On his Instagram account, Bryan had posted a snippet of an unreleased song, titled “Bad News,” on Friday, with the caption, “The fading of the red white and blue.”

The clip included the lyrics: “I heard the cops came, cocky motherfuckers, ain’t they?/ And ICE is gonna come bust down your door/ Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone/ Kids are all scared and all alone.”

While the song’s tease was immediately met with a shit fit by conservatives, who argued that Bryan took sharp aim at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, officials in President Donald Trump’s administration also jumped on the criticism.
