Politicians who criticized Trump but are attending his inauguration are highlighted by Ilhan Omar for their hypocrisy.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., criticized the inconsistency of politicians attending President-elect Trump's inaugural celebrations despite her earlier condemnation of him as a threat to democracy.

The progressive congresswoman stated in a post on X that people are more upset at performers/artists attending Trump's inaugural events than they are at politicians who told them he was a "threat to democracy" going to these events, despite their claims that they are not serious.

Politicians who ran their mouth for four years and are now willing to clap for him, despite lying to you, are the ones who should be criticized and held accountable for their actions.

Omar proposed that it's not necessary for performers to remain loyal to a political party.

The lawmaker concluded that in a free country like ours, people should be able to support any party they want without having their livelihood compromised, and that asking performers/artists to be loyal to a party is a dictatorial practice.

On Monday, Planet Chronicle Digital contacted the Trump-Vance transition team and the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee to inquire about any performers at the inauguration ceremony or related events being compensated.

The committee did not pay for performances, a committee spokesperson stated.

Despite previously labeling Trump as a "threat to our democracy," President Biden and Vice President Harris are anticipated to attend his inauguration.

Trump has been characterized by Omar as a danger to our democracy.

The swearing-in ceremony at the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee will feature performances by Carrie Underwood, Christopher Macchio, and Lee Greenwood.

The Commander-in-Chief Ball, Liberty Ball, and Starlight Ball will feature performers such as Rascal Flatts, Parker McCollum, Jason Aldean, The Village People, Nelly, and Gavin DeGraw, according to the committee's announcement.
