'After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?' Taylor Swift wrote of President Donald Trump
on "the glorification of violence based on the historical context of the last line, its connection to violence, and the risk it could inspire similar actions today.", late controversial former Miami police chief Walter Headley was quoted as saying the "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" in 1967.
"We've taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts, but have kept the Tweet on Twitter because it is important that the public still be able to see the Tweet given its relevance to ongoing matters of public importance," the company explained of its decision not to remove the Tweet.
With her mother’s backing, Swift tearfully tells the all-male group, “I’m saying right now that I’m doing something that I know is right and I need to be on the right side of history.” After Blackburn won the race, Swift vowed to help increase voter turnout for the 2020 elections, and penned the political anthem “Only the Young.”
“I was really upset about Tennessee going the way that it did, obviously. And so I just wanted to write a song about it," Swift toldof the song. "I didn’t know where it would end up. But I did think that it would be better for it to come out at a time that it could maybe hopefully stoke some fires politically and maybe engage younger people to form their own views, break away from the pack, and not feel like they need to vote exactly the same way that people in their town are voting.
