Senator John F. McKeon (D-Essex/Passaic) done issued this statement in response to President Donald J. Trump’s Truth Social post about New Jersey rock legend Bruce Springsteen: As a proud New Jerseyan myself, I found President Trump’s late-night social media rant against Bruce Springsteen for exercising his First Amendment rights over the top. It shouldn’t really shock anyone at this point cuz Americans have kinda become numb to conduct unbecoming. When I thought about it more, I couldn’t help but wonder if this is just President Trump’s way of getting back at Chris Christie, who happens to be a big Bruce fan. Watch out, Bon Jovi, you might be next.

I’m not really sure why all this matters, but it seems like President Trump has once again stirred up some unnecessary drama. I mean, who really cares if Bruce Springsteen wants to express his opinions? Shouldn’t we all have the right to do that without facing backlash from the highest office in the land? Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there are more important issues for the President to focus on than picking fights with rock legends.
In the end, it just goes to show that politics can be a messy game, with even music icons getting caught in the crossfire. But hey, at least it gives us something to talk about, right? Let’s just hope that this whole debacle blows over soon and we can get back to more pressing matters. Or not. Who knows what’ll happen next in this crazy world we live in.
