In a two-minute video posted to social media on Sunday, Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessees second congressional district, addressed Trump directly as he outlined his plan to rescue the event by flying in MAGA acts.
What we ought to do is, my suggestion, get your friend and my friend John Rich, great musician, to lead it off, Burchett began, after denouncing the acts who cancelled as pathetic.
Hes got some great patriotic tunes hes written and he sings and its just awesome, and let him MC the dadgum thing, and have all these folks come in, theres plenty of acts in Nashvillepeople that are trying to get on, get on a big stage like thisthis is a world stage, he continued, perhaps not having heard that even before Trump threatened to cancel there were problems selling tickets.
Let some of those musicians get out and sing a few songs. All wed have to do is pay for their dadgum airfare...theyd love it, he said.

Brad Howell, John Davis, and Charles Shaw, with Jodie Rocco and Linda Rocco were the real Milli Vanilli singers and they were who was supposed to perform. Also, Rob Pilatus, one of the two lip syncers died in 1998.

Even if a performer is stupid enough to support the Orange Shitgibbon, he or she is probably not so stupid that they'd willingly flush their career down a gold-painted toilet for appearing onstage just to stroke his infantile ego.

Didn't Nazis do something similar with musicians at THEIR 'detention facilities'?
(I apologize for the stereotype -- no doubt there are very talented musicians of ALL musical genres locked up)

She gets rave reviews from the Denver theater crowd, at least from her male "friends."
She apparently has what it takes to "entertain."

Anyway, those people think to small
