Rock band The Killers responded to being snubbed for Grammy Awards nominations with a tweet that mocked President Donald Trumpâs failing attempts to steal the 2020 election.
After missing out on a nomination for sixth studio album âImploding the Mirage,â the group on Tuesday channeled the presidentâs false conspiracy theories about mass voter fraud with this all-caps tweet:
âOBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS,â the group wrote. âWE WON THE GRAMMYS, GOT LOADS OF LEGAL VOTES.
âBAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE,â the band added. âDOZENS OF BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!â
The tweet went down well with fans:
Itâs not the first time the Brandon Flowers-fronted group has used its platform to call out the Trump era.
In January 2019, The Killers released protest song âLand of the Freeâ that riffed on the themes of institutional racism, immigration and Trumpâs much-promised wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
