from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words.— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 23, 2017
I’ve never been a fan of hers, but I feel for her. It has to be horrible to know that Islamic terrorists specifically targeted your event and murdered your fans.
I know politics shouldn’t matter, but it does. Grande was, of course, opposed to Trump and his policies. Milo Yiannopoulos remembered that and isn’t giving her any room. He’s demanding that she condemn radical Islamic terrorism. He wrote on his Facebook page that Grande is “being too stupid to wise up and warn her European fans about the real threats to their freedom and their lives.”
There’s more…
He even asked, “When will Ariana Grande stop feeling sorry for herself and condemn Islamic terror?”
Some members of his audience weren’t very receptive.
“People got murdered at her concert and she had to bear witness to it. I think that’s enough shit talk about her for now. Regardless of her past, no one is gonna come out alright after seeing shit like that” wrote Shane Tompkins, whose Facebook profile says he’s an operation specialist in the U.S. Navy.
“That’s low Milo, even for you” wrote Jason Healy. The depths you will go to for a bit of publicity. On the backs of children. You sir are a disgrace. Kids deaths shouldn’t come into a spat between you and a singer.”
“She’s an entertainer and she entertains children. Take a chill pill and post about the lives lost as opposed to assigning blame to the poor girl” wrote Gary Buckman.
I understand what Milo is trying to do, and he does have a point– we should ALL condemn radical Islamic terrorism– but I can definitely see how this could come off the wrong way. A little…insensitive, perhaps? Then again, I feel silly saying that. Who cares about delicate sensibilities right now? We’re fed up with everyone giving radical Islamic terrorism a pass.
I don’t know. I see both sides. Your thoughts?
