On Friday, March 7, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a trans singer named Laura Jane Grace opened one of Bernie Sanders’ Oligarchy Tour events with a song featuring oft-repeated chorus of “Does your God have a big, fat [crude word for penis].” The chorus continues with copious use of the F word.
The verses also contained strong sexual references to the God of the Jewish-Christian Bible and to his Son. Furthermore the chorus was picked up by many members of the cheering crowd – as its simple, repetitive nature suggests it was meant to be.
What does Bernie – the sponsor and host and putative planner of the Oligarchy Tour – think of this song? So far, he’s not saying.
Bernie’s social media reports big crowds and bigger excitement in the weekend’s tours through supposedly ‘red’ towns in battleground states like Wisconsin and Michigan. However, no reference to Grace.
VDC has sent three emails to Sen. Sanders’ D.C. office, seeking an answer to whether Vermont’s senior senator knew whether the song would be performed, and if he approved, and approves of it now. If/when we receive a response, we will publish it immediately.
Laura Jane Grace, however, on Facebook defended the lyrics of the song.
“I maintain that this song is a smart and well laid out argument and I am asking a genuine question. I get chromosomes and biology thrown in my face constantly, and we all listen to talk of “his glory” and being made in “his image” and that’s what I want to know — Do you honestly believe your god has a d*ck?,” Grace said on Facebook.
Grace’s song, first widely reported by Gateway Pundit, has gone viral on social media.
