Country star Zach Bryan is releasing a new song apparently lambasting the United States’ immigration policies, which has, unsurprisingly, sparked backlash from the MAGAsphere.
“The fading of the red, white and blue”
Bryan recently teased “Bad News” on Instagram, posting a minute-long audio clip alongside the caption “The fading of the red, white and blue,” one of the song’s most pointed lyrics.
Zach Bryan teases ICE-inspired new song: lyrics
Didn’t wake up, dead or in jail/Some out of town boys been given a cell/I’ve got some bad news, woke up missing you/
My friends are all degenerates but they’re all I got/The generational story of dropping the plot/I heard the cops came, cocky motherfuckers ain’t they?
And ICE is gonna come bust down your door/Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone/Kids are all scared and all alone.”
The boss stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling/The middle fingers rising and it won’t stop showing/Got some bad news/The fading of the red, white and blue
MAGA world responds
Bryan’s new music immediately drew the ire of the MAGA community, which may have led him to turn off comments on the post.
Fox News host Tomi Lahren’s “trash” comment was arguably the least imaginative of the insults. Others claimed Bryan had just destroyed his own career, or “non-career,” as right-wing internet troll Catturd sneered, clearly not considering the vast number of people who might agree with him.
“We were just invaded by over 10 million illegal aliens and who does Zach Bryan cheer for? The illegals,” wrote conservative commentator Rogan O’Handley.
Fellow country artist John Rich, meanwhile, joked that Bryan would soon be touring with The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks), who famously enraged much of their conservative fan base by criticizing President Bush and the Iraq War in 2003, a move that sent their careers into a tailspin.
From the Navy to record crowds
Bryan, who joined the Navy at 17 and served eight years before being honorably discharged to pursue music, set a record for the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history when 112,000 people packed Michigan Stadium to see him perform.
