Elton John: “To Hell With Them”
He was referring to the “…some people in this country” that appear to him to be misogynistic.
What? Because we won’t vote for Hillary means we hate women? Announcement of the concert a few months ago seemed somewhat controversial, though not against the law (I guess), that a foreign national would be contributing indirectly to a Presidential campaign here in America. But I guess it passed the test.
Anyway, Hillary’s camp is claiming the concert raised $2.5 million.
This from Ben Smith at Politico:
There’s a real crowd at Radio City, complete with scalpers, and lines around the block for Elton John and the Clintons.
Toward the back of one line: Frank Luntz, Lanny Davis, and Doug Schoen. (”I used to be in business with Mark Penn,” Schoen joked.)
Inside, Bill Clinton introduced his wife, thanked the packed house for contributions to keep the race going, and asked for more, to shouts of “We miss you, Bill.”
“If you know anybody who didn’t come here tonight who could send some money over the Internet …,” he said.
“What I want you to know is, I’m still standing,” Hillary told the crowd. I believe that this country is worth fighting for, so we’re talking our campaign to Pennsylvania and to all the states that haven’t voted.”
Elton John was a bit edgier:
“I never cease to be amazed at the misogynist attitude of some of the people in this country,” he said. “I say to hell with them.”
