Musician Neil Young attacked President Trump and endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for president in an open letter on Thursday.
“You are a disgrace to my country,” Young, who was born in Canada but received his U.S. citizenship this year after living in the United States for 54 years, wrote on his website. “Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable.”
Young mentioned former President Barack Obama, who, he told Trump, “was a better man than you are.”
The rock star said alluded to Sanders, saying he gives “answers I like” on the country’s various issues.
“He is aiming at preserving our children’s future directly,” Young wrote. “He is not popular with the democratic establishment because, unlike all other candidates, he is not pandering to the industries accelerating Earth’s Climate Disaster, the end of the world as we know it. He is truly fighting for the USA. His initials are BS. Not his policies.”
Young had a parting message for Trump.
“We are going to vote you out,” he said, “and Make American Great Again.”
