Country Star Faces MAGA Firestorm
Grammy-winning country artist and Navy veteran Zach Bryan is at the center of a political firestorm after teasing a new song that takes a direct shot at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The snippet, shared on his Instagram, immediately triggered a meltdown in MAGA circles, with many calling for a boycott of the superstar.
Lyrics Sparking Outrage
The controversy stems from lyrics in the unreleased track. Bryan croons, “And ICE is gonna come bust down your door/Try to build a house, no bills no more… Kids are all scared and all alone.” The teaser ends with another provocative line mentioned in his caption: “The fading of the red, white and blue.”
Sensing the impending backlash, Bryan turned off the comments on the post, but the criticism quickly spread to other platforms.
Calls for a Boycott
Conservative commentators wasted no time condemning the song. MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson warned that Bryan’s record-breaking career would suffer, asking, “When will they learn?” Commentator Rogan O’Handley, known as DC Draino, accused Bryan of siding with “illegals” and declared, “I smell a boycott brewing.”
Fox News host Tomi Lahren called the song “trash,” while fellow country musician John Rich mockingly suggested a “Zach Bryan-Dixie Chicks tour” sponsored by Bud Light, referencing past conservative boycotts. This isn’t Bryan’s first brush with right-wing anger; he publicly supported transgender people during the 2023 Bud Light controversy, establishing his willingness to defy conservative orthodoxy.
