A recent concert, ‘Rise Up, Sing Out,’ was held in New York City, where Hollywood celebrities, including Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro, criticized President Donald Trump and his administration. The event was seen as a counter to the White House’s UFC Freedom 250 programming.

Celebrity Criticism

Fonda stated that Americans’ rights are under attack by the government, comparing the current situation to the House Un-American Activities Committee era of the 1950s. De Niro expressed his inability to separate patriotism from Trump’s presidency, saying he cannot love a country led by Trump.

Actress Julia Roberts paid tribute to Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen who was shot and killed by an ICE agent during an immigration enforcement operation. The White House dismissed the celebrity criticism, with a spokesman saying that nobody cares about the opinions of ‘out-of-touch woke celebrities’ in Hollywood.

Event Comparison

The ‘Rise Up, Sing Out’ concert was compared unfavorably to a conservative alternative entertainment spectacle, with some critics calling it ‘cringe’ and ‘stupid.’ The event drew a smaller crowd compared to the UFC Freedom 250, which had a larger in-person audience and dominated X trends on Sunday night.
