John Legend has laid into Donald Trump ahead of his inauguration as President, saying: “He has promised to make us a less just and free country, and those of us that believe in [freedom] have to stand up.”
The singer was speaking at the Television Critics Association (TCA) winter press tour while promoting Season 2 of WGN America’s Underground, on which he serves as an executive producer.
The series tells the tale of the struggle for freedom within a divided America. But referring to how things have changed in the modern day, he said: “Even when there’s progress it’s not guaranteed to stay in place.”
He added: “We have to be vigilant to maintain freedom.”
Creator and executive Misha Green also spoke out against Trump at the event, saying: “This country was built on racism and sexism — and I think our incoming president is again going to be racist and sexist.”
The pair were taking part in a panel at the TCA press tour alongside Joe Pokaski, Underground creator and executive producer, and Anthony Hemingway, director and executive producer.
It was also revealed that Legend has penned a new song, In America, which features in the premiere episode of Underground Season 2.
Underground Season 2 premieres on March 8, 2017, at 10pm ET/PT on WGN America.
Trump is the Antichrist. Biden was made president to try and stop him. We must unite against the Antichrist or the World will pay a dear price. Prophets have written of Trump’s rise ( The Child) and the destruction of the World. Read Nostradamus, Les Propheties.
GOD help us all ( World War Three)!!!.
Believe in me .
I think Trump is not the antichrist. Biden has done nothing but put this world in more debt. He is letting people all over the world come in. When we have people here that need his help. Like the veterans. A lot of them are homeless after they fought. Wake up America. Since Biden has been in office. Groceries have doubled. Gas has went up.
Wake up buddy its not because of Biden its the pandemic and the world economy
Greed, set the prices at the grocery store not the government. But greed needs a president like Trump. Biden didn’t start the wars but we should help countries her being bullied by dictators. Period. And if you’re worried about immigration, stop giving them a job and I’ll stop coming. Just that simple.
Your so right
Please check prices. They are going down. I don’t know where you go shopping.
