Parton Family Ends Trump After He Says This

0:00 Yesterday, after the tragic passing of American icon Dolly Parton, I just knew that Donald Trump was going to say some stupid That it was just a matter of time before Donald Trump said some stupid because he has a disease. He is a narcissist with a broken brain who no matter what the situation is, has to make it about himself. And of course, Donald Trump did. And it comes as Dolly Parton's family members are speaking out and calling out Donald Trump in this disgusting fascist regime. I I had a lot that I wanted to say about Dolly Parton and her legacy of universality, in her love of all people and how far she went to protect them and make sure that they

0:45 were taken care of in her community around the country and really around the world. But I want to talk about it more because I just think it's so important, especially in the wake of what Donald Trump just said, the that he is. We're going to get to how Parton's family members and one specifically has hit back. But we have to start with what our president just said. Trump brags about how much Dolly Parton liked him. Here are the facts. Trump is claiming Dolly Parton was a secret fan of his. Nothing she said or advocated for gives that indication. Donald Trump is claiming that the recently deceased country music legend Dolly Parton was a big fan of his even though she made a point to support the LGBTQ community,

1:32 proclaimed that black lives mattered and remained politically neutral throughout her life, never endorsing Trump. We all knew her so well. I knew her a little bit. She really liked me, Trump said on the Glen Beck program Wednesday morning, suggesting that Parton never came out publicly in support of him because she would lose 20% of her fans. Here is that clip of Trump. It's truly ridiculous. >> We We all knew her so well. I knew her a little bit. She wasn't a very political person. She really liked me, I will tell you. But she also wanted to stay very, you know, she she was of the opinion, you know, the 50%, who needs to lose. I don't think it's 50. I think it's probably 20% of the fans, okay? Not 50.

2:17 >> But she was a great person and she was just a nice person, you know. I I like her a lot. >> And I I thought it was a natural thing to lower the flags. >> Trump is using the death of a universally beloved artist as an opportunity to talk about himself. It's much easier to make claims about how someone felt or didn't feel once they're no longer here to make it known themselves. Yeah, this is such just like a loser move by Trump. Of course, he will wait until Dolly Parton cannot defend herself because Donald Trump is a coward. And for what it's worth, nothing about suggested some secret support for Trump. She was an outspoken advocate for the queer community and spoke out against a transgender ban in Tennessee

3:03 in 2023, saying she just wanted everyone to be treated good. In 2020, she stated that of course black lives matter. Do you think our white asses are the only ones that matter? She was also vaccinated against CO 19 and donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University, a college within the state of Tennessee, which she loved, which helped fund the Madna vaccine. I don't do politics, Parton said on a podcast. I have too many fans on both sides of the fence. Of course, I have my opinion about everything, but I learned years ago to keep my mouth shut about things. And yet we have Trump assigning her an ideology and death, getting in his last petty little points, something only a president as callous as him would ever

3:48 do. Of course, Donald Trump wants to swoop in at the last minute and say that Dolly Parton was a raging MAGA supporter when nothing could be further from the truth. Donald Trump runs an illiterate political movement of morons and people who fundamentally hate any improvement in our country, who do not want to see people treated with love and respect and dignity, who do not want social programs to improve, who would be disgusted, disgusted with Dolly Parton as a political actor if it wasn't Dolly Parton. Oh, this crazy woman wants children to read. She's indoctrinating them. Oh, this crazy woman wants all

4:34 people to feel loved. She's woke. That's how they would have felt. Dolly Parton was an icon in the way that she was able to push the universality of her politics without without people realizing what she was doing, right? She was so smart. She was able to trick these maggots and the and the whole conservative crowd. But it was also because she was such a great person. She was not a Trump fan. She never would have been. It is ridiculous to suggest. It is as ridiculous as the Republicans who yesterday, I'm sure, turned on 9 to5. Why? The maybe the movie, maybe the song, maybe went to the play and did not hear the lyrics that are inherently proworker, anti the hoarding of capital.

5:19 9 to5 is not a song about how great Elon Musk is. No, no. That's And it's also why I'm glad that Dolly Parton's sister is speaking out and calling out Trump. Dolly Parton's sister unccquirked tirade at Pimple Trump in days before Star's passing. Dolly Parton's sister unleashed a blistering stream of attacks against Donald Trump in the days leading up to the country music legend's death, including a now deleted attack shortly before the news broke. As a natural-born citizen of the United States of America, I do not support nor do I agree with Trump or his deranged, ugly, nasty behavior, Stella Parton wrote in a post on Tuesday, according to a screenshot retained by Raw Story before it disappeared. Many of us are disgusted

6:06 and feel threatened by his actions and his cabinet Republican sick offense in the majority of the Supreme Court. The post racked up more than 600 replies and 500 reposts before it was deleted for unknown reasons, likely because MAGA was going to come after a grieving sister. Days earlier, Stella, a singer, songwriter, and actress, described Trump as a pimple in Congress as pus. We have a pimple in the White House and pus in Congress do nothing beneficial for the citizens of this country. She wrote August 20th, uh, strutting around with his female assistant carrying his diaper bag and soothing his every desire is gross and pathetic. He is an illegitimate president, she added. On Sunday, she lobbed yet another jab at Trump and also lashed out at Vice

6:52 President JD Vance and other MAGA allies of the administration. Trump is not sundowning in the middle of the night, she wrote. If so, what do we do about the liars enabling him like JD Vance? The sister of the 80-year-old music icon who passed on Tuesday also responded, "Evil beneath a photograph of Trump and compared him to being as bad as Netanyahu and Hitler if he isn't stopped. Get out and vote people," she added in that August 22nd reply post. Trump, for his part, mourned Dolly Parton. Not really. He just made a truth social post. It was probably Natalie Harp and ordered American flags lowered nationwide for one week in Dolly Parton's honor in an attempt for of course him to claim a little bit of credit. Dolly Parton and her family came

7:38 from a very deep, deep poverty that she looked to solve in her community every single day of her life. Dolly Parton poured millions of dollars into her community in literacy programs, in donations and emergency relief after flash flooding in Tennessee. Dolly Parton cared deeply, deeply about improving the conditions of the people that she grew up with. Dolly Parton went out of her way to make sure that she never became a billionaire. She was a genius businesswoman and she could have racked up as much cash as she wanted and kept it for herself. But she knew her legacy was inspiring people and building in her community, which is what she did.

8:24 Dolly Parton wasn't a person who took and took and took and kept and kept and kept and pushed away and pushed away and pushed away. She gave constantly and that is her legacy. The book lady is what people called her as she delivered more than two, three million books every single month to children around the country and for free. A program, her imagination library that had its funding cut by $4 million by Republicans in Missouri because they do not believe in her politics. Now, Dolly Parton said that she was never political, but Dolly Parton was. She was political in the fact that she had a universality in her politics. If you believe that all people have dignity and should be treated like

9:09 they do because they do, that is inherently political, right? She didn't have to come out and say it because she was too smart to have to. She was making it very clear with her actions, which is just as important. She believed in a universality that is required in our politics. A universality that conservatives fundamentally do not have. And they think that they can escape the reality of their moral failing by saying, "Well, Dolly Parton wasn't political. She believed that all people were good no matter who they voted for." She didn't believe that people weren't bad because of who they voted for. She believed in a basic dignity, a basic dignity that would also lead you to believe that we all deserve health care and housing and food and love and community.

9:54 You are not exempt or or uh have your hands washed of your votes, of your politics, of your fascism. Just because there are those of us who believe in a universality that you should be treated as a person within this society and that means you should have your basic needs met. That doesn't mean I like you or think that you are good as an individual, as a political actor. No, you cannot wash your hands of your own behavior. I don't think you deserve health care because you're a good person. I believe you deserve health care because you are a person. Those were the values that we saw Dolly Parton Spousin act on every single day. And it's why I'm disgusted that Maga thinks they get to claim her. They do

10:40 not. You do not get to claim the patriotism and and the shine of the of the sparkles on her suits. No, you don't get to do that. The rhinestones and the fun, the surface level, that's not for you if you don't understand what's beneath the surface, what's beneath the lyrics of 9 to5. If you're just listening to the tune, I saw a post on Twitter yesterday that said, you know, if you listen to the lyrics of that song, it's really a a proworker anthem. What do you mean if you listen to the lyrics of a song? Don't you know that's what you're supposed to do with music? With literature, with film, you're supposed to understand it. There's a message. Yeah. All these who watch Star Wars and don't

11:27 realize maybe the Stormtroopers are kind of like the ICE agents. Yeah. That the Empire is kind of like the people installing flock cameras everywhere. Maybe there's some parallels. And so if you're a big Luke Skywalker guy, maybe you should realize she's not a Republican. Neither was Dolly Parton. She wasn't a Trump supporter. She was someone who wanted to see people's lives improved and she did it herself. It is so important that this woman who could have been in probably decades ago could have been a billionaire, chose not to be because that's not what she believed in. She didn't believe in hoarding. She believed in giving and making better. Which is why it is crazy that on the same day that she passes in the same South that she wanted to see improved, you had Darlene Graham, not Jolene, but

12:14 Darlene saying this in her victory speech. Truly wild No person in South Carolina has pushed harder for the absolutely terrible idea of turning confused little boys into little girls and vice versa than Annie Andrews. gun control, government-run healthc care, abortion until the moment of birth, bad idea after bad idea. Annie Andrews backs them all. I have a different background and vision for our state. I'm a hard worker with a servant's heart. I grew up in the back of a bar and liquor store in one room in

13:00 central South Carolina. My parents worked long hard hours to make make ends meet. We didn't take vacations. If they were sick, they had to get up and go to work because the doors weren't open. We weren't making money. My mother passed away when I was 11. And my father just over a year later. For the past 30 years, I've worked hard for the people of South Carolina. And for the past seven years, I've led a state agency. And I understand the struggles facing South Carolina families because I've faced them too. >> This is one of the worst political candidates I have ever seen in my entire life. What are you talking about? My parents suffered and died. So I want to

13:45 make sure the same thing happens to the people of South Carolina that it happened decades ago and it will continue for decades. Better things aren't possible. Well, I suffered so you should too. You know that DSA platform that everyone's talking about as so scary and so radical. I want I want to read and and I'm going to I'm going to read it because it's right here because it's important I get the words correct even though I should know it at this point. You work as much as you are able and no more than needed. You work as much as you are able and no more than needed. Doesn't that sound a little bit better than you don't deserve health care because my parents didn't have it and they died because of it? What is Mitch McConnell getting right now? Is he getting the get up and work treatment? Go out and die treatment.

14:33 Don't we believe that better things are possible in this country? Isn't that what Dolly Parton would have wanted? Isn't that what we believe? It's what I believe and we're going to keep talking about it on the show every single day. If you want to support that, as always, you can hit that subscribe button, leave a like on this video.
