This is absolutely pathetic:
CNN – Another member of a group selected to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration is protesting.
Jan Chamberlin, a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, is quitting the group and saying that she could never sing for Trump.
She sent a resignation letter to the choir president this week.
“I’ve tried to tell myself that it will be all right and that I can continue in good conscience before God and man,” Chamberlin wrote in a Facebook post. “I only know I could never ‘throw roses to Hitler.’ And I certainly could never sing for him.”
Chamberlin said she has concerns about the choir’s reputation after performing at the inauguration.
“Looking from the outside in, it will appear that Choir is endorsing tyranny and fascism by singing for this man,” she wrote.
“Tyranny is now on our doorstep; it has been sneaking its way into our lives through stealth. Now it will burst into our homes through storm,” Chamberlin added.
The choir did not return a request for comment. Boris Epshteyn, a spokesman for Trump’s inaugural festivities, simply said, “We’re honored to have the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform in the 58th Inauguration, their sixth time participating in inaugural ceremonies, and we look forward to their uplifting performance.”
Honestly I don’t care if she quits. If it were Obama and I were in her shoes, I might bow out as well. No grudges there.
But to equate Trump to Hitler is ridiculous and pathetic. It’s ok to disagree with them, even to not like him. But to equate him to a man who slaughtered over 6 million Jews in the worst ways possible is to admit that you’re a rabid and completely unhinged human being that deserves to be shunned for such an offensive comparison.
I’m glad she’s quitting the choir because she gives them a bad name with this kind of uneducated and rubbish nonsense.
