Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, took to Twitter late Sunday to make it clear she was not pleased with a Grammys segment in which stars mocked President Trump. “I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it,” Haley tweeted, referring to the bestselling book by Michael Wolff, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. The book features unflattering portrayals of Trump and depicts his presidency as one of chaos and dysfunction. Hillary Clinton, Cher, Snoop Dogg, and Cardi B. were among those to roast the president by reading excerpts from the book at the Grammy Awards. “Don’t ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it,” Haley said.
I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don’t ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it.
