Lady Gaga attacks Donald Trump branding him a ‘racist’ and ‘a fool’ over George Floyd’s death
LADY Gaga has branded Donald Trump a “racist” and “fool” over George Floyd’s death.
The outspoken singer wrote on Instagram on Sunday: “We have known for a long time that President Trump has failed.
“He holds the most powerful office in the world, yet offers nothing but ignorance and prejudice while black lives continue to be taken.
“We have known he is a fool, and a racist, since he took office.
“He is fuelling a system already rooted in racism.
“The voices of the black community have been silenced for too long and that silence has proven deadly.
“And no matter what they do to protest, they are still met with no compassion by the leaders that are meant to protect them.”
Gaga is a well known Democrat and supporter of Hilary Clinton.
Her outpouring followed Beyoncé, who said: “We’re broken and we’re disgusted.”
