Senator Bernie Sanders is under scrutiny after hosting a rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where transgender musician Laura Jane Grace performed a song perceived by many as anti-Christian. The event, part of Sanders‘ “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” tour, attracted approximately 3,500 attendees.
Grace, lead singer and guitarist of the punk band Against Me!, delivered a solo rendition of “Your God (God’s D—),” a song containing explicit lyrics questioning the nature of God. The performance included provocative lines that many found offensive. Critics labeled the song as “pure evil” and “anti-Christian,” expressing outrage over its content.
Conservative figures and social media users reacted strongly to the performance. The account Libs of TikTok described it as “absolutely sickening,” while conservative activist Robby Starbuck commented, “This is who the Democrats are now. Pure evil.” Some self-identified moderate Democrats also expressed disappointment, suggesting that the choice of performer reflected poorly on Sanders.
Grace has been a longtime supporter of Sanders, previously performing at his events in 2020. Her band, Against Me!, known for its abrasive style, often addresses controversial themes in their music.
Sanders’ rally in Kenosha is part of a series of town hall discussions across the United States. The tour aims to mobilize grassroots resistance to policies perceived as favoring oligarchy and authoritarianism.
Sanders’ decision to feature a musician performing an explicitly anti-Christian song at a public rally is deeply offensive and alarming to many citizens. Hosting an artist who mocks faith in such a vile manner shows a complete disregard for the values held by millions of Americans. Even more disturbing to many conservatives is that Sanders not only allowed this performance but praised it, further proving how radical the Democratic Party has become.
