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
I think all of you have forgotten the s**t hole that Biden inherited from Trump. Trump is the Anti Christ, he started the war in Ukraine, he told Putin he was weak and thus started all this s**t. He rallied up all the followers in the US and used them as tools to do his bidding on Jan 6. If you all have forgotten the US is made up of all immigrants. Ask yourself when did one of your family members arrive in America. You were just born here and have no clue as to the struggles your ancestors went through just to get here. Come here with nothing and build from there. What would you do if you got on a boat and ended up in another country with nothing but the clothes on your back. Those poor people in Mexico that were taken and kid were having to take care of the younger ones kept in a cage having to drink toilet water just to stay alive, never were reunited with their parents ever again, to this day no one knows what happened to the parents. Roe vs wade overturned after 50 years because he had to stir the pot and now he wants to get ride of democracy crazy. I work with a few people from other countries let me tell you, they are so glad to be here. The ones that have lived overseas have seen the government come into your home take a family member only to never be seen again. You all may not like Biden but I will take him any day over the ludicrous Trump. Can’t you all see the man is a psychopath. open you eyes and learn to read between the lines!!! He will destroy America. God help us All PLEASE!!!
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.
Look it’s like this everthing that Trump said in office he did and everthing that Trump said after office is been coming ture look it’s ture Biden is a joke he sold all r oil that was in the reverse to China and also he let the un to tel all the leaders to raise the prices also it’s proven facķ that Obama and Biden paid to make covid 19 I have the porf so if anyone one is the devil it’s Biden and the hoe
