The rich and famous and liberal have been threatening to leave the United States since before Trump was first elected president in 2016. Comedian Michael Loftus told “Fox & Friends Weekend” these are ego-driven, attention-seeking statements.
“They really think they’re that important,” Loftus said. “They really think we’re walking around going, ‘Wait, what? Springsteen’s going to leave? And Tommy Lee? Oh, I’m changing my vote!’”
Long time rock star Bruce Springsteen told The Daily Telegraph in a recent interview that he’ll “see you on the next plane” if President Trump is reelected. Tommy Lee, drummer for the rock band Motley Crue, told The Big Issue he would go “back to my Motherland.”
But according to Loftus, there is no way that Springsteen, Lee, or any celebrity for that matter, who vowed to flee in the past would ever actually follow through with it.
“We knew these celebrities were self-centered. We knew they were stupid. We just didn’t know how cowardly they were,” Loftus said.
“With Springsteen saying this, I guess it gives new meaning to ‘Born to Run’,” he joked.
Loftus added that it’s a good thing celebrities didn’t act this entitled during World War II by refusing to fight for their country on Omaha Beach after declaring that President Franklin D. Roosevelt is “not my president.”
“When celebrities declare they’re going to leave, we should have some new kind of candyman law. Meaning, if you declare it three times, you have to leave. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya,” he said.
These celebrities seem to think that their short-lived fame gives them the right to butt in on political matters. If these spoiled brats spend one week in the socialist countries they so desperately want to flee to they would be begging to come back to American where Trump is our President.
