Ben Shapiro:
On Thursday, Madison Square Garden Company boss James Dolan announced that the Radio City Rockettes had to perform at the Trump inauguration. And the Rockettes went off their rockers. One Rockette wrote:
I usually don’t use social media to make a political stand but I feel overwhelmed with emotion. Finding out that it has been decided for us that Rockettes will be performing at the Presidential inauguration makes me feel embarrassed and disappointed. The women I work with are intelligent and are full of love and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything we’re against is appalling. I am speaking for just myself but please know that after we found out this news, we have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts. We will not be forced! #notmypresident
George Takei, an ardent Trump opponent, tweeted in their support:
The members of the Rockettes and the Mormon Tabernacle are like all of us: Forced to go along with something horrible they didn't choose.

Meanwhile, Anthony Bourdain has announced that he won’t eat at any restaurant hosted at Trump Tower; fashion icon Andre Leon Talley has said he won’t dress Melania anymore; artists whose products hang in Ivanka Trump’s apartment have asked her to remove their art.
Well, well.
Suddenly, it seems, the left has discovered freedom of association. After years of telling religious people that they had a moral and legal obligation to throw out their religion and serve same-sex weddings, provide contraception, and fund abortion, the left now realizes that the ability to pick and choose those to whom you give your services is actually rather vital.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a 360-piece singing group made up entirely of volunteers.
Some always opt out of every performance.
Fake News strikes Again.
Unsurprising. This is the exact same double standard hypocrisy the left exhibits in:
1. Excusing Bill Clinton’s sexual harassment and alleged attacks against women (including calling Paula Jones “trailor trash”) while characterizing Trump as some kind of Snidley Whiplash oppressor of women.
2. Excusing former KKK Kleagle Byrd, even after he uttered the phrase, “There are white niggers” on video during an interview, while falsely characterizing Trump and his voters as racist.
3. Excusing the Clintons for making over $153 million via speeches to Goldman Sachs and taking bribes from foreign nations and corporations over the last decade, while decrying Trump for being rich due to legitimate business dealings.
4. Excusing Chappaquidick Ted for contacting the soviets in the 1980s attempting to undermine Reagan’s foreign policy, as well as excusing Obama illegally spending money and sending campaign operatives to Israel to undermine Netanyahu’s re-election, then complaining that Trump alledgedly colluded with the Russians to manipulate the last US election.
The left has no shred of integrity, and is solely motivated by the obsession to have tyrannical control over every aspect of daily life.
@Nanny G: And also the Manager of the Rockettes have said performing for the Inaug is entirely voluntary and they have an excess of volunteers.
All the wailing and sobing coming from whining liberals and just you wait until you start receiving the usial junk mail from the various eco-wacko groups moaning and groaning about Trump wiping out the the wee wee wandering weasels
The Dumb-O-Crats are suddenly aware the U.S. Constitution is still the law of the land not all those Useless Nations worthless treaties they sign their names to
