'Disgrace to my country': Neil Young pens scathing letter to Trump and endorses Bernie Sanders

Musician Neil Young attacked President Trump and endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for president in an open letter on Thursday.

"You are a disgrace to my country," Young, who was born in Canada but received his U.S. citizenship this year after living in the United States for 54 years, wrote on his website. "Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable."

Young mentioned former President Barack Obama, who, he told Trump, "was a better man than you are."

The rock star said alluded to Sanders, saying he gives "answers I like" on the country's various issues.

This moron wrote total nonsense. The words made no sense he played and “song” the easiest notes and it was his stick some fell for. He had a fantastic manager that pushed his crap at the perfect time. Their is a reason why he hasn’t done anything in 40 years. He is scum and should retire in the land of syrup and black face. #Canada.

The Neil Young's of this country are what has led to the downfall of this country. His generation said they were going to fix things and never did.

Neil Young is a crappy singer..who cares what he thinks?

This is because Neil is a Communist.
He protested the Vietnam war which means he supported Communist Chinas expansion and purge of millions.
Neil is an icon, a music legend, a train buff too.
But, still a misguided, jaded Communist. Certainly not worthy of giving unbiased political opinions.

He's a out of touch life long drug user. If fact most bernie bots are drug users, not really sure why that is..I used to think it was a campus thing. Didnt bernie promise to make drug use legal when he ran previously?

Who gives a crap what the actors, singers and Hollywood elites think politically! They are not popular for the opinions just for there acting, singing and ability to 'entertain' us for a short time in our lives!

Neil just received his USA citizenship last year. Should have stayed in Canada with Megan & Harry Markle.

I think that sums up Mr. Young very nicely.

Clueless

We protested Viet Nam because the Gulf of Tonkin was a fake event by McCain and Morrison. It never had anything to do with Communism and we all knew it. Nobody wanted to die in the jungle for bankers and heroin importers.
