IHIP News: 🚨 Trump Facing MAJOR BLOWBACK For SAYING THIS About Dolly Parton!!

All right. When I read the headline. yesterday that an 80-year-old had died, I was devastated to find out that that. was Dolly Parton, who was just an. amazing, amazing, talented woman. Um, fundamentally, this is a woman who. bought books for people, didn't ban. books. This is a woman who stood up for. the marginalized and didn't bully them. This is a woman who stood with the LGBTQ. plus community, the black community, and. didn't bully them despite. her doing all of this in the classiest.

way imaginable. Donald Trump is so. narcissistic. He's making her death. about himself. Of course, let's play the. clip. >> Unique. I mean, she was amazing. And to. lose her, it's like you lose a member of. the family. You know, we we all knew her. so well. I knew her a little bit. She. wasn't a very political person. She. really liked me, I will tell you. But. she also wanted to stay very, you know, she she was of the opinion, you know, the 50% who needs to lose. I don't think.

it's 50. I think it's probably 20% of. the fans, okay? Not 50. But she was a. great person. >> I'm always stunned when I hear him, even. though I shouldn't be by now. When. everything goes back to, well, that he. really liked me. I I liked him because. he he really liked me. I'm just like, what? Who thinks that way? Oh, I know. who. The president of the United States. He thinks every in terms of himself.

Everything is in terms of himself. It's. really every time I hear it, I'm just. like, "Wow." It's a reminder. >> No, it is. It It It always takes my. breath away, too. I'm just like, >> and here it's not so much that he says. it because it's predictable that he says. it. It's that how many people hear that. and don't have the same reaction that we. just had. That's where my brain goes. like that they're like, "Yeah, she. really liked him." That they don't. think, "What a blowhard. What an arrogant pos." That they don't. process that with the judgment that such.

a narcissistic statement should garner. But the fact of the matter is that Dolly. Parton didn't want anything to do with. MAGA or Trump. Pop this up. Dolly Parton. turned down an offer to receive the. Presidential Medal of Freedom twice. during the Donald Trump administration. You know, here's the thing with Dolly. Unlike Ted Cruz, she is the exact. opposite. Both the right and the left.

Like, there's nobody that disagrees that. Dolly Parton was an icon. She stood for. everything that's good. The American. dream really grew up completely. impoverished. Made her own ticket. like didn't sell. her songs. She would let people sing. them, but she always made the money. Great businesswoman. So, she typifies. everything that the American dream. symbolizes. And I just think that. if that is truly in your heart, and. clearly that was her conviction by.

everything that she did, you cannot. stand in Donald Trump's oval office, you. cannot receive an award from him because. it's tainted. It's tainted with cruelty. and racism and vast incompetence. >> And I have heard Dolly Parton multiple. interviews as a lifelong fan of hers. I. feel like, you know, we all grew up with. her. >> Yeah. >> Um that she. she did live the American dream, but. differently, a better version of it.

Because what she would say is, "Yeah, I've made a lot of money, but I don't do. this for the money. I do it for the. art." And she did make a lot of money, but differently than all of these other. hundreds of millionaires and. billionaires. She gave back, right? She bought books. for kids. She funded a vaccine. She made money, so much money doing. something she loves. And that's the part. of America that we need to bring back. this form of the Jeff Bezos America or.

uh immigrant Elon Musk's America America. where they say, "Well, philanthropy. doesn't really do anything." Well, that's just a complete lie. You're just. a completely greedy, selfish person. I. saw Jeff Bezos had the audacity to do a. post about Dolly. And I'm just like, go ahead. Go ahead. Make that split. screen, Bezos. I mean, this is a woman. who would ne She was rich, but she's. never going to have the kind of money. you had. and she's given more away and.

cared more and she stood on business and. she refused to go to the Oval to get the. uh medal that she clearly earned but she. refused to go get it from that fascist. uh president. You on the other hand. raced there with participation awards. and made up gifts for him that you had. to give to him. So that's just. incredibly rich. How many people that. stand for everything that Dolly tried to. stamp out through a message of love and. philanthropy and inclusivity.

>> These people are trying to draw a. parallel or latch on to her. And of. course, Dolly was a fierce defender of. the LGBTQ plus community. Play the clip. >> Recently, those throw support to uh the. LGBT community. Oh, I'm always uh. encourage I'm not encouraged. They. they've made me the poster child. I. think only because I'm so outspoken as. far as just being accepting of people in. general. I do not believe that we should.

criticize and judge other people. I. think we should be accepting and loving. We are all God's children. We are who we. are and we should allow allowed to be. who we are. Did any of the faith-based. communities that deeply believe the. other way take umbrage with you? >> Oh, absolutely they did. Oh, yes. I get. it all the time. I keep saying, "Well, if you're the fine Christian that you're. you think you are, why are you judging. people?". >> Love her. >> And this is She was doing this a long.

long time ago. She was a trailblazer in. standing up for the LGBTQ plus. community. the same community that. Donald Trump doesn't give a about, the same community that's terrified of. drag queens, the same community that uh. uh doesn't even really like art. And so. for them to clamor on to Dolly Parton, who was an artist, and the reason that. we just need to talk about the reason. Republicans don't like art and you. always if you ever meet people that. don't appreciate art, they're.

Republicans because art at the epicenter. of it is critical thinking. At the. epicenter of it is inclusivity. At the. epicenter of it is all of this. exploration. Art opens up your mind to. so many different things. And that is a. problem for the MAGAcist project. Much. the same way that Jesus Christ is a. problem for the MAGA fascist project. Radical empathy like she was talking. about right there. But also in such a. sassy southern way. Well, if you're just.

such a good Christian, then why are you. judging and why are you being such a. hypocrite? My mother said that my entire. life growing up. Always pointing out the. absolute abject hypocrisy. in the most re o overtly loud megaphone. holding religious people were the most. judgmental among us. >> Absolutely right. And you know what's. interesting about Dolly Parton is she. took the criticism and she continued to. do it like you said for years and years.

It did not change her. It did not change. her outlook. And I think when you think, here's just my bird's eye view, having. been indoctrinated and raised in the. evangelical Christian movement, Dolly. Parton was everything that I was taught. You're supposed to be like Jesus. You're. supposed to be empathetic. You're. supposed to be inclusive. Feed the. hungry. All the things. But the minute. we walked away from that, the meanest,

crulest, uh, judgmental, righteous indignation, dehumanizing, because it was more about money and. superiority and entitle. I'm entitled to. it. Dolly Parton, despite the fact that. she talked about every morning she got. up, the first thing she did was read her. Bible. She practiced the radical empathy. that you're talking about. And I think. that's why, you know, the Pope's a. problem for the right. Same with Dolly. Parton because she was like, I love.

everybody. I'm I'm including everybody. I'm not judging anybody. And that from. somebody who was like, judgment is how. you're raised. You're You are entitled. to judge other people, making it easier. to dehumanize them, making it easier for. you to vote Republican. >> Yeah. All right. And here's Dolly. speaking out against racism. and play. the clip. >> Of course, black lives matter. Do we. think our little white ashes are the. only ones that matter? >> I mean, this is just this is to me.

that's the America I want to live in. >> I agree. >> I want diversity. I want to be around. people that have differing world views. But the connective tissue in that is. that we all advocate for each other. We. all might have different life. experiences, but to live in America and. to have the privilege that we have and. have the privilege that Dolly Pardon had. and to ignore the uh centuries long.

subjugation and scapegoating of black. Americans. is fundamentally. at the epicenter of how Republicans. continue to win. And I love her for. saying, "Of course, black lives matter.". And you notice how simply she's able to. state her convictions. The Democratic establishment should. take, watch some of her clips, very. plain spoken, and she, you know, it's.

real because she believes it. She's. never had to change her opinion. She's. never had to do an about face. She's. lived it. She's believed in it her. entire life. And of course, she wasn't a. politician, but we look to in a society. all sorts of people for inspiration. And. I just challenge those at the DNC to. listen to how simply she speaks about. that. Well, of course they matter. We. think our white ass is their only thing. that matters. It's very simple. It's.

very effective and it's full of. compassion and common sense. And then of. course, MAGA spreads vaccine conspiracy. theories everywhere they can. People are. dropping dead because they're not. getting vaccinated. Dolly believed in. funding. >> science. Let's pop this up. Dolly Pardon. helped fund the Madna vaccine for COVID. Um, this is incredible because here we.

have an 80-year-old Donald Trump. They. defunded cancer research. some of this. cancer research. They were on the. precipice of finding a vaccine for. cancer. That whole program has been. completely defunded. That's Donald Trump. and the quote unquote prolife MAGA. people. They want to defund life saving. measures because they are lying about. being pro-life because MAGA is a pro. death cult. We've got to return to a.

society where we look at people's. actions, right, >> and not their words. We look at their. motivations. and not their words. And Trump is. clearly motivated by money. And um all. of the people surrounding him are. motivate motivated by money or their. appetite for to consume recreational. cruelty. And the fact that they are. trying to claim Dolly right now is just.

of course they're trying to do like. this. >> Of course they are. And I just I want to. point out that I have watched so many of. her interviews over the years and. obviously I binged a ton last night and. she said one of the things she was most. proud of was her imagination library for. literacy. under the Trump administration. What. what imagination library? It sends a. book every month free to every child. until they go to school. And and there's. been research like they've done like the. kids that are exposed to these books.

have a higher literacy rate when they go. into school. Okay. Well, that makes. sense. I this will not shock you at all, but under the Trump administration, the. federal funds that helped in that. endeavor over 300 million books to kids. slash that. We don't need our kids to be. smart. We don't need them to read. They. want you stupid. Full stop. >> They They want you stupid. And the Trump. administration says, "We're for freedom, yet they're for banning books." Right? >> We're for freedom, but yet they um are.

dismantling the Voting Rights Act. We're. for freedom, but the pastor of the. Secretary of Defense of the United. States of America wants to uh repeal the. 19th Amendment. They're not for freedom. They are for control. They are for. stupidity. They are an anti-family death. cult. Everything about them, it is an. anti-family death cult. These are the. most hypocritical Christians on the. planet. And despite all of this, despite. this case we've made here that Dolly was.

a very um savvy way of being woke, very. savvy about the way she did this. Very. plain spoken, very simple. Magga still. wants to claim her. Pop this up. Turning Point USA, where kids and imaginations and critical. thinking go to die. Post the following. Dolly Parton proved what happens when. hard work meets unwavering faith. She.

turned a humble life in the Great Smoky. Mountains into an entertainment empire, poured millions into children's. literacy, and never forgot where she. came from. A true example of the. American dream in action. Rest in peace. So, Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk said. if he got on an airplane and there was a. black pilot, that would worry him. That. would concern him because Charlie Kirk. was an unapologetic, unrepentant racist.

Dolly Parton just said there, of course, black lives matter. She stood with the. marginalized. So for Turning Point, who. was founded in an anti-science world by. this guy, this 70-year-old who funded. Charlie Kirk, their big issues were guns. and anti-science, no vaccines. The. 70-year-old that founded Turning Point. with Charlie Kirk died of COVID because. he was too big of a to get. vaccinated. And Charlie Kirk died of.

something he advocated for, gun. violence. while he was talking about. gang violence, which is code for black. people are the only people that have gun. problems. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk was. shot by a white kid that was raised by a. MAGA family. And so that to me is such a. disgrace to Dolly Pardon to have Turning. Point USA where intellect goes to die.

Literally intellectual suicide happens. at Turning Point USA to act like they're. so four kids reading books and. It's just unbelievable. how disgusting. And I just want to say. this, Turning Point USA, there's there's. this world in the United States where. it's getting more popular on college. campuses. Um they had a huge rally at. the University of Oklahoma and it's just. rather.

disgusting to me that they want to uh. pile onto her success when she stood for. as an antidote to all of the hate that. they preach. >> Well, of course they do because. here's the thing. They all want to grab. onto Dolly Parton because she's good. And I think that all all of these people. like turning point I think in their mind. they think they're good but they know. they're really not on some deep level. They know it's a grift. And there's one.

thing that comes across in with Dolly. Parton was that she was authentic. She. was who she was. She never changed it. She stood fast in her beliefs. and. turning point. At the end of the day, it's a grift to make the higherups. money and to make the electorate less. intelligent so they will continue to. allow the likes of Donald Trump and the.

grifting. I mean, it's just exact. opposite. So, of course, they're. everything you said is true, but the. real reason is even more insidious and. nefarious than everything. And it is. what churches know. And it is what um uh. Benjamin Netanyahu wants to do with Tik. Tok. And it is what Turning Point wants. to do. >> Propaganda. >> Capture the youth. Capture the youth. Indoctrinate them young. And that's what. Turning Point is trying to do. College. is the entry point to where you leave. your nest and you leave the for a lot of.

kids, at least a lot of kids I grew up. around, this is a black and white world. view. this these are the only things. you're allowed to believe. And a lot of. evangelical parents take their kids'. brain and close it to a one-inch highway. and this is all you can see. This is all. you can do. This is all you can believe. They get to college and it goes like. this and they open up their minds and. critical thinking and they're finally in. a safe space to ask, "Did Noah really. put all those animals on that yacht? Did.

that really happen and God and God was. mad and genocided everybody? Is does. that real?" And somebody's like, "Well, no, of course it's not." And so they're. hearing that for the first time. >> Turning Point is actively trying to. block that beautiful evolution that. every person goes to where they discover. who they are and what their own beliefs. are. And it is to keep those children's. minds this wide. That's it. That's the. point. So it's really really grotesque.

Now, up at the very top of it, like. Erica Kirk, I mean, grifted out the. wazoo. I mean, no question. I mean, that's just unbelievable. I'll never get. over her video of her. slumped over the coffin. I mean, I just. >> Yeah, >> it's just the weirdest I've ever. seen. >> That always pops in my head, too. Like, that. >> How do you do that? Like, your husband. just gets shot and that's some weird. >> and you take a photo op by the coffin, >> a video. Mhm.

>> That was some That was so weird. Oh god. All right. Rest in peace, Dolly. You're. an inspiration. And what a what a. thumbrint. What a what a what a. beautiful life. And what a all the. footage of all the singing, all of the. wonderful songs, but just her social. justice advocacy is just incredible. All. right, that's all we have. Like and. subscribe. We'll be back later with more. news.
