John Rich is safeguarding Carrie Underwood after the American Idol alum liked a tweet opposing mask requireds at schools.
On Tuesday,Aug 18, many Twitter users observed that the “Jesus Take the Wheel” vocalist had actually liked a tweet from conservative figure Matt Walsh, who shared a video of hisAug 10 speech at the Nashville School Board conference. In the two-minute clip, he compared a mask required to “child abuse,” composing in his caption that requiring kids to use masks is “cruel and indefensible.”
Underwood’s obvious assistance for Walsh’s declarations triggered reaction throughout social networks, with some jokingly remarking, “Jesus take the wheel indeed.”
Amid the debate, which quickly trended online, the Big and Rich artist spoke up in defense of his fellow nation vocalist. “I say @carrieunderwood can like whatever tweet she wants to like. Who are ‘they’ to shout her down? Watch out, she’s a tough Okie gal:)” hewrote “You see what’s going on here? It’s ‘freedom of speech unless you disagree with the mob.’ #CarrieTakeTheWheel”
