John Legend went on a rant after Donald Trump Jr. used a bowl of poisoned skittles to explain what he called the current “Syrian refugee problem.”
“Man, the rancid apple does not fall far from the tree,” the 37-year-old singer tweeted Monday night, attacking the son of Donald Trump in multiple posts. (RELATED: John Legend: The National Anthem Is ‘Weak’)
“If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful,” the post read. “That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”
“By that logic, you would take everyone’s guns away,” Legend tweeted. “Because someone is gonna kill somebody at some point. But I guess that doesn’t count.” (RELATED: John Legend: Trump ‘Utterly Unqualified To Be President’)
