Republican candidate calls One World concert ‘commie propaganda’ and says ‘we aren’t global citizens, we’re AMERICAN’
A REPUBLICATION candidate slammed the One World: Together At Home coronavirus concert as “commie propaganda,” saying “we aren’t global citizens, we’re AMERICAN.”
Charles Langworthy issued a foul-mouthed rant on Twitter about the event, which raised nearly $128 million for the defunded World Health Organization (WHO) during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Langworthy of Roseville, Michigan, took issue with Global Citizen, an international advocacy group who organized the concert.
“That one world together at home commie propaganda sponsored by the CCP WHO and this global citizen bull c**p is on at least 20 different stations,” he raged.
“You can take your commie propaganda and shove it.
“THIS IS AMERICA! We are not global citizens we are AMERICAN CITIZENS!! 1776 2.0.”
Langsworthy also retweeted statements about the extended lockdowns in Michigan, California, and Virginia, echoing President Trump’s calls for states to be “liberated” this week.
He said California Governor Gavin Newsom, Virgina Governor Ralph Newsom, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer were “three of many” dictators for their stay-home orders to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.
The deadly bug has infected over 700,000 Americans and killed over 30,000, prompting state leaders to issue stay-at-home orders which have resulted in large protests.
Despite Langsworthy’s anger, dozens of celebrities took part in the 8-hour musical extravaganza like Stevie Wonder, the Rolling Stones, and Lady Gaga, who all performed for people staying home to stop the spread.
Taylor Swift, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Jennifer Lopez also put on a virtual show for Americans stuck indoors this week.
The Rolling Stones, who were in four different places at the time, gave a heartfelt rendition of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” for people at home.
But Langsworthy wasn’t impressed with their fundraising efforts after President Trump defunded the WHO for being in cahoots with China.
After the concert, Global Citizen revealed the event raised $127.9 million for the WHO’s Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund and vaccine development.
“That is the power and impact of One World,” the group tweeted afterwards, followed by the hashtag #TogetherAtHome.
People tuned into a 6-hour “pre-show” and then the main run, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert.
Last month, Global Citizen launched their campaign in support of the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
Their Festival Curator and Coldplay Frontman Chris Martin began the first #TogetherAtHome Instagram live show.
