Charlotte Church Shuts Down Trump Inauguration Offer In Bold Tweet

Welsh singer Charlotte Church just became the latest musician to deny Donald Trump an Inauguration Day performance.Claiming that his team had recently reached out to ask her to sing during the upcoming ceremony on Jan. 20, Church responded with a cheeky announcement over Twitter.A simple Internet search would show I think youre a tyrant, she wrote, addressing the president-elect.@realDonaldTrump Your staff have asked me to sing at your inauguration, a simple Internet search would show I think you're a tyrant. ByeCharlotte Church (@charlottechurch) January 10, 2017 After performing a simple internet search as suggested, we found the following comments by Church that would seemingly preclude her from performing at the event marking the start of Trumps presidency.In a December 2015 tweet, Church called Trump a Sith death eater and an amoeba, continuing to say, I really, really detest him.A Sith death eater.......and an amoeba. I really, really detest him.
