Lee Greenwood 'shocked' for being replaced on arts council by Biden administration
Country singer Lee Greenwood says he's being replaced from National Council on the Arts.
Country singer Lee Greenwood told "Fox & Friends" Thursday that he was "shocked" at being replaced on National Council on the Arts by the Biden administration.
LEE GREENWOOD: You know, it’s a six-year appointment and I was appointed by George W. Bush 43. So I served under his term. Also, President Obama’s term. Of course, President Trump’s term. And then as you know he used my song "God Bless the USA," which is unilateral for me. It’s meant for all people, not just for a particular political party.
...
So hearing now under the Biden administration and he’s cleaned house and finally he'sfired a patriot. I was quite shocked to tell you the truth. I didn’t get a phone call or letter. It was just an email.
...
I would like to think that it is. And I have to tell you in all our shows. I don’t care where they are. We always honor our veterans and want to particularly point out the fact we have this amazing show coming up October 12th in Huntsville, Alabama at the Bronze Center and set aside a lock of tickets which I do at most of our events.
...
This is a very special television production and more importantly we want to make sure that veterans and their caregivers can come to our performance. It’s going to be star-studded with 40 different singers singing the 40 years of hits that we have had. So, if your listeners will go to our website LeeGreenwood.com and adopt a vet. For $100 you can put a vet and caregiver in a seat to watch this amazing television production.
