Bruce Springsteen Trashes 'King Trump' in New 'Streets of Minneapolis' Song
Bruce Springsteen I Can't Stand What's Happening In Minneapolis!
Bruce Springsteen went for the jugular on his new track "Streets of Minneapolis" ... trashing the Trump Administration's attitude and actions against the city and its ongoing unrest.
Springsteen dropped the track accompanied by a statement n his website, explaining he wrote the song on Saturday, recorded it Tuesday, and released it today ... he dedicated it to the citizens of Minneapolis, immigrant neighbors, and the memories of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were both shot and killed by federal agents in the city this month.
Springsteen makes several references to "King Trump" and brands federal officers "thugs."
He also calls out "dirty lies" pushed by Trump adviser Stephen Miller and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who both defended the actions of the federal officers who killed Pretti and falsely labeled him a terrorist.
Noem claimed Pretti brandished a gun at the agents who shot him ... though video later showed he never touched his firearm, which he was legally permitted to carry. Miller also alleged without evidence Pretti "tried to murder federal agents."
Springsteen's song finishes with a pledge to "remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis."
Springsteen isn't the only one who's spoken out about the unrest in the Twin Cities recently ... celebrities like Billie Eilish and Jimmy Kimmel have been loud about federal immigration activity in Minnesota.
Ice-T also issued a stark statement in Minneapolis yesterday ... warning protesters ICE agents "will kill you."
