Music legend Bruce Springsteen expressed his support for Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and slammed President Donald Trump’s administration in a statement issued on Monday.
“Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%,” Springsteen said in the statement.
Republican National Committee national press secretary Natalie Baldassarre said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, “Bruce Springsteen backing Abdul El-Sayed doesn’t change the fact that Abdul is a terrorist sympathizer who’s platformed disgusting anti-American rhetoric and supports abolishing our private health care and the police.”
The White House pointed Fox News Digital to an April Truth Social post in which the president slammed Springsteen.
“Bad, and very boring singer, Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump declared in the post earlier this year.
“The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election, including the popular vote, all Seven Swing States, and 86% of the Counties across America. Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems, our Country was DEAD, and now we have the “hottest” Country, by far, anywhere in the World. MAGA SHOULD BOYCOTT HIS OVERPRICED CONCERTS, WHICH SUCK. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. AMERICA IS BACK!!!” Trump added.
El-Sayed is facing President Donald Trump-backed Republican Senate candidate former Rep. Mike Rogers in the race.
