The Left Couldn't Pause the Politics for One Lousy Day for 'The Great American State Fair'

Rick Moran-Opinion : Jun 8, 2026  PJ Media

What began as a routine lineup announcement by Freedom 250 quickly dissolved into a series of highly publicized artist walkouts.

The Fair was supposed to be a non-partisan, non-political event. The White House had nothing to do with the planning, especially relating to the nine musical acts who agreed to perform. A non-partisan commission made up of Republicans and Democrats chose the acts and planned the schedule.

The group took to Facebook with a blunt, unmistakable graphic that read: "Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair.'" The caption was a succinct, meme-ready dismissal: "It's a no for me."

Despite Donald Trump having absolutely nothing to do with choosing musical acts and planning the celebration, many on the left couldn't stand the idea of Trump getting any plaudits for putting on a spectacular event. There was a deliberate effort to sabotage the Great American Fair, politicize it, and place enormous pressure on the musical acts, including making threats to their safety, to withdraw...
