Bristol Palin Takes on the Hollywood 'Sissies' Who Refused to Perform at Trump's Inauguration

by J.D. Durkin | 7:39 am, December 29th, 2016

Bristol Palin — yes, that Bristol Palin — took to her personal blog this week to criticize the A-Listers who have repeatedly turned down the opportunity to perform at President-elect Donald Trump‘s inauguration next month.

The daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin wrote, “these same mega-celebrities, who would normally drool over an invitation to sing for the president, want no part of it.”

And despite claims from the Trump transition team that they are having no problem trying to find big name stars to perform at the January 20th event, Palin admits at one point, “Trump’s inauguration team sought out some of the world’s greatest musicians, but nearly all of them have refused for fear of backlash or to stand against him politically.”

Trump’s inauguration is currently slated to feature 16-year-old Jackie Evancho singing the national anthem, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, as well at the world-famous Rockettes — though several of the dancers of the Radio City ensemble have spoken out against being forced to perform, with one anonymously writing, “The majority of us said no immediately.”

so more and more people will learn of how unpopular the bully-in-chief-?elect is.

Thinking back, I only heard of two entertainment acts during his campaign. Female children dancing and singing (of which there is a lawsuit because the campaign would not PAY them!) and Ted Nuggent with his crass heavy-metal self crotch grabbing performance. Yuk!

It is one of the "freedoms" that she and her idiotic family preach about all the time. They just don't like it when they see someone else using it.

I'm sure Bristol could dance with Rick Perry at the inauguration - both of them using what they learned on DWTS!

for even clicking on this post. I`m sure Bristol Palin would say people who refuse to shoot animals from a helicopter are "sissies" as well.

Bristol, do you pay per word or do you have a monthly or yearly contract with your ghost writer?

On the other hand, maybe they had a creative writing class at the pimple school you graduated from.

So, wait, people do not have a right to personal freedom to decide not to participate in any event. So, I guess if President Obama had asked conservative musicians to perform at his inauguration and they turned him down it would have been okay for him to go on social media and criticize them for refusing to perform? I thought it was the Republican Party who claims to be fighting for personal freedom.

That BP's blog ghostwriter is Nancy French, who's husband David A. French was, at one stage, touted as an alternative Conservative candidate.

Young Bristol doesn't have two neurons to spark a synapse. Don't ever give her credit for a coherent political thought.
