The MAGA of the opera

Yeah, Chris Macchio is bad - both his singing and his politics...

But Macchio has got nothing on Emilio Pons, a tenor who has written the following...

--“Blacks have a particularly dysfunctional society and anti values.”

--"'Systemic racism' made them [African-Americans] do it, not their culture's appalling, broken moral compass and their absolute lack of self-control.”

--"I will continue to fiercely oppose the evil forces that are threatening Western Civilization: from the increasingly violent trans agenda and cultural Marxism, to globalism, radical environmentalism, antisemitism, and the Islamization of the West." (Well, at least he got the antisemitism part right.)

And yet the NY Young Republicans, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and the Ben Franklin Fellowship platform this guy.

Stop by our Substack and meet America's most racist tenor and his MAGA fans.
