Country singer John Rich has spoken out after a controversy involving fellow singer Carrie Underwood. The controversy erupted when Underwood liked a tweet that criticized President Donald Trump's handling of the Black Lives Matter movement. As a staunch supporter of Trump, Rich expressed his frustration and disappointment with Underwood's actions. He stated that he has had enough and implied that he would no longer associate with Underwood.
The incident began when Underwood, known for her typically apolitical stance, liked a tweet that criticized Trump’s response to the Black Lives Matter protests, which gained significant traction following the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis. The tweet, which called for more empathy and action from the president, resonated with many who felt that the administration’s response to the protests was inadequate.
However, it also sparked controversy among Trump supporters, including John Rich.
Rich, who has never shied away from expressing his political views, took to social media to voice his disapproval. He expressed that he felt betrayed by Underwood's action, seeing it as an affront to his political beliefs and a support for what he considers to be unfair criticism of Trump. In his posts, Rich emphasized his dedication to Trump and suggested that he could no longer stand by someone who would endorse such criticism, even implicitly.
