Linda Ronstadt slams Trump 'hate show' held at namesake music hall
View Date:2024-12-23 11:32:04
Linda Ronstadt is voicing her displeasure with former President Donald Trump holding a rally at Linda Ronstadt Music Hall.
"Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown" of Tuscon, Arizona, Ronstadt wrote on Instagram Thursday. "I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something. It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit.
"I don't just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance – although there's that," she continued.
Linda Ronstadt rips Trump: 'No forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused'
“For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum," she added. "Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture."

"There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused," she wrote.
Other stars have condemned the former president in recent weeks, including Stevie Nicks, who encouraged fans to register and vote for "the candidate that speaks to you and your beliefs" in a Wednesday Instagram post she signed "Love, Stevie Nicks, Childless Dog Lady" the morning after Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election following the debate against Trump.

After signing her message, Ronstadt added a P.S. to vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance.
"I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom," she wrote. "They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I'm unmarried and didn't give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for @kamalaharris and @timwalz."
