Lee Greenwood is the latest to be cancelled

 


Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The USA" is President Trump's usual entrance music at his rallies, including yesterday's event in Georgia.  And the Biden administration can't be anywhere near that.  Jon Dougherty at BizPacReview reports:

The Biden administration’s purge of appointees to various government advisory boards by prior presidents — mostly Republicans — is continuing with the dismissal of country music great Lee Greenwood from the National Council on the Arts.

During an interview last week with “Fox & Friends,” Greenwood explained that he was initially appointed to the board by President George W. Bush then served throughout President Barack Obama’s two terms and President Donald Trump’s single term, adding he was shocked to get the letter advising him he was being replaced.

Greenwood, who wrote the country anthem “God Bless the USA,” which was a favorite of the late President Ronald Reagan and has become a fixture at Trump’s rallies, suspects that politics may be behind the decision to remove him from the arts council.

. . .

Politics?  No kidding.  The full report is here, and you'll read about other firings & dismissals of Trump advisers (Sean Spicer, KellyAnne Conway, etc) from non-partisan positions.  I am so old I can remember when Team Obama enlisted the National Endowment for the Arts to design and promote his Hope artwork/logo.  Partisanship.
