“I in no way condone this and was mortified”
Gun N’ Roses, and the estate of Sinead O’Connor, have both previously objected to Trump using songs at his rallies. Yesterday, Wainwright and the estate of Leonard Cohen also blasted Trump for using “Hallelujah”.
In a post on X, Wainwright wrote, “The song ‘Hallelujah’ by Leonard Cohen has become an anthem dedicated to peace, love and acceptance of the truth. I’ve been supremely honored over the years to be connected with this ode to tolerance. Witnessing Trump and his supporters commune with this music last night was the height of blasphemy.
“Of course, I in no way condone this and was mortified, but the good in me hopes that perhaps in inhabiting and really listening to the lyrics of Cohen’s masterpiece, Donald Trump just might experience a hint of remorse over what he’s caused. I’m not holding my breath.”
Wainwright added, “And needless to say: I am all in for Kamala!”
