Joe Walsh was scheduled to perform in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 17th until he found out that he was deceived when it turns out that the “event” was actually a launch for the GOP’s Republican National Convention. The artist says, “I cannot in good conscience endorse the Republican party in any way.”
According to Rolling Stone, “I am very concerned about the rampant vitriol, fear-mongering and bullying coming from the current Republican campaigns,” he continued. “It is both isolationist and spiteful. I cannot in good conscience endorse the Republican party in any way. I will look at doing a veteran related benefit concert later this year.”
