Last month, the “Me!” hitmaker accused President Donald Trump of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism” his “entire presidency.”
“After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence,” Taylor wrote. “‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.”
