In reply to the discussion: Rosanne Cash is no fan of MAGA [View all]highplainsdem
(62,814 posts)20. Pretty sure that's a FAKE QUOTE. No news stories about it. She suggested months ago that Trump
supporters could unfollow her, but this is how her statement ended then:
(If you still support this administration, there is a way to unfollow me. Please act on your God-given right to do that. And if you think I should shut up and sing because Im not relevant, I will quote @tommorello: I didnt give up my First Amendment rights when I picked up my guitar.)
That was back in January.

I can't find anything to match the quote in the OP, other than social media posts copying other social media posts. I've done lots of keyword searches, and there's absolutely no evidence she ever said or wrote that.
So it looks like this is one more fake quote on the internet, made up by someone with no real respect for her, who just wanted to put their words in her mouth.

MAGA ran so far to the loony right that it's THEIR job to find "common ground" if any, not the left's.
