BREAKING NEWS : John Legend Slams President Trump As A ‘Bigot’ In Newly Surfaced Footage…See More

John Legend has faced a backlash after footage of him calling Donald Trump a white supremacist surfaced online.

The singer and his wife Chrissy Teigen have long been vocal on their feelings about President Trump with John previously calling him a “dyed in the wool racist” while President Trump slammed him as a “boring musician” and labelled Chrissy as “filthy-mouthed” when she called him a “p—-a– b—-” back in 2019.

The footage of John speaking at The Fifteen Percent Pledge’s 15th Street Block Party in Hollywood in February shows him making his feelings clear on the President. He says of his presidential victory: “America made a decision that I strongly disagree with and it seems that we are reaping the whirlwind right now.”

A moderator then asks John why it is Trump has “latched on to diversity so much” with a marquee visible with the sign “DEI is more than just a headline.” John responded: “Well, he’s a bigot. It’s a belief that there’s a hierarchy of racial groups and that his group is superior, genetically superior.

“He believes that. Whenever he talks about competence and qualifications, any white man will do for him!”

John then drew comparisons between Joe Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the current head of the Pentagon Pete Hegseth. He said: “He was a four-star generally, supremely qualified black man and then see who he put after him! That’s the level of bigotry that he has – any white man is better than that.”

Supporters of President Trump rushed to comment on the video on social media as they slammed John for his scathing views. One wrote: “Trump should sue. Stop letting this slide.” A second said: “All this division is sad.”

A third called John out for hypocrisy as they stated: “Only a Democrat could claim ‘Trump is divisive’ in one breath & say ‘MAGA is white supremacist’ in the next.” A fourth social media user said: “If President Trump ever said anything like this, it would be played by legacy media on repeat. This is projection 101; John Legend is the divisive racist.”

A fifth quipped: “The douche changed his last name to Legend so he clearly believes he is superior to everybody.”

Meanwhile, others championed John’s comments. “He’s 100% correct,” one wrote. “Look at John over there, being Legendary,” another said. “John Legend has so much class & intelligence…..I hope he keeps speaking up, we need him and many more,” a third penned.
