Linda Ronstadt slams Trump for ‘hate show’ campaign rally at venue bearing her name

Linda Ronstadt is slamming former President Trump for bringing “his hate show” to an Arizona venue bearing her name.

“Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something,” the “You’re no Good” singer wrote in a Wednesday social media post .

Trump is poised to deliver a campaign speech Thursday at Linda Ronstadt Music Hall in Tucson.

“I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance — although there’s that,” said the 78-year-old performer, who grew up in the Grand Canyon State.

“For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum,” Ronstadt said.

“Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers,” Ronstadt said, calling it a “humanitarian catastrophe.”

Trump has defended his administration’s decision to separate thousands of migrant families at the southern border when he was in office, saying last year that “it stopped people from coming by the hundreds of thousands.”

In her message about Trump’s Arizona stop, Ronstadt said of the 45th president, “There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.”

The Grammy Award-winning songwriter also took aim at Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), for past controversial comments in which he said the country was being run by “childless cat ladies.”

In a postscript directed at Vance, Ronstadt said: “I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat.”

“Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids?” she said.

Vance has since referred to the remark as a “sarcastic comment.”

“Call me what you want,” Ronstadt added, “but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
