Jennifer Holliday Pulls Out of Donald Trump Inauguration Performance

a victim of intimidation

I could almost guarantee you, Eastern Kentuckian Marlana VanHoose would not be intimidated, more likely to be even MORE determined to perform.

My mountain Granny's words have stuck with me, "You can butter me up and talk real nice to me and I'll do just about anything for you, but there ain't nobody gonna MAKE me do nuthin".

Maybe this guy should perform:

I was thinking, since his speeches are said to be written at a 3rd to 6th grade level, something like this might be a good fill-in:

Jennifer Holliday has a conscience and morals. Kudos to her for standing up for what's right.

For being afraid of death threats? She was willing to go to the inauguration but was afraid for her life. I don't blame her because I wouldn't put it past the left to actually resort to murder in this time of transition of power. They are that hostile.

What does any of this have to do with Jennifer Holliday not performing at the Trump Inauguration? Do you understand "off topic?"

YAY KENTUCKY! YOU GO, MOUNTAIN GAL!

Wow, read a bit about this gal & found out she ain't no "little girl", at least not age-wise. This lil jewel was born in '96 IIRC!!

She was born in 1995 and is 21 years old. She is very small due to being born with a mild form of cerebral palsy (which is not the cause of her blindness - that was caused by a cytomegalovirus infection which kept the optic nerve from forming properly).
