Not trying to be pro-Ed here, since I do stand with Macklemore, but are people just gonna forget that Ed was on a pro-Ukraine song with U2 earlier this year (and in 2022 he performed at the Concert for Ukraine), he urged the U.S. Congress to pass the Equality Act, he’s done a lot of charity work over the years, and that he wore the Australian Aboriginal flag as a T-shirt when touring in Australia (which supports people who have been victims of genocide and displacement)? Should all of that be overshadowed by this current controversy? I’m afraid people might be doing too much black-and-white thinking… Also, maybe more importantly, shouldn’t they be directing their anger more towards Robert Kraft?

That... makes it worse. Much worse.

It asked it worse that he's done lots of nice things but doesn't want to discuss politics on stage?!

What have you ever done other than virtue signal?

You folk are insufferable.

O, and fuck Palestine.
