The United States is getting ready to celebrate its 250th birthday, but planning for the festivities meant to celebrate the milestone appear to be hitting a snag.
“The Great American State Fair” is a series of patriotic programming and entertainment scheduled to take place in late June and early July on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It is being organized by Freedom 250, an organization that was launched by President Donald Trump and is headed by one of his former political appointees, which seems to be part of the controversy.
Earlier this week, the group announced the headliners for a June 26 concert. The list of performers was widely panned by both sides of the aisle due to the lack of perceived star power, and, within hours, most of the acts dropped out citing concerns about safety and divisiveness. But was that really the issue?
On Friday’s show, Megyn was joined by Damilare Sonoiki and Stepfanie Tyler to discuss the controversy and the real reason the musicians are canceling their appearance.
You can check out Megyn’s full interview with Sonoiki and Tyler by tuning in to episode 1,328 on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you like to listen. And don’t forget that you can catch The Megyn Kelly Show live on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Channel (channel 111) weekdays from 12pm to 2pm ET.
