Jewel Says She Sang At Trump Inauguration Event To Advocate For Mental Health
HuffPost
“I believe there are people in the new administration that are willing to help on this issue,” the singer said, after receiving backlash for performing for RFK Jr.
Jewel is explaining why she thinks it’s OK to cozy up to MAGA.
On Saturday, the Grammy-nominated folk singer, full name Jewel Kilcher, posted a video to Instagram in which she responded to fans who were disgusted by her decision to perform at one of President Donald Trump’s inauguration events.
“Let’s talk,” Jewel begins in the clip. “As many of you know, I am a mental health advocate. If there’s anything that I’ve learned in the past 20 years, it’s that mental health affects everybody’s lives across party lines.”
She goes on to say she “reached out to the last administration” to discuss more advocacy for mental health, to no avail.
“If I wait to try until I agree 100% with the people that might be willing to help me, I’d never get off the bench,” she says. “I don’t think that’s how activism works. Waiting until everything’s perfect enough to participate ― it’s actually because things are so imperfect that we have to find ways to engage and to participate, and we have to act now. We cannot wait another four years.”
