Lizzo is a classically trained flutist and only blew a few notes out of Madison’s crystal flute, which she was invited to play by Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, and yet Republicans are up in arms over the brief performance. Several GOP members took to social media after videos of Lizzo playing the flute went viral to accuse her of “desecrating American history just for the sake of it,” as right-wing pundit Matt Walsh alleged on Twitter . As rounded up and reported by Rolling Stone : “The conservative Columbia Bugle called it a ‘humiliation ritual.’ Right-wing commentator Greg Price wrote that ‘they’ want to ‘degrade our history and then call you a racist if you actually value it.’ Trump appointee Darren Beattie described Lizzo as the ‘perfect representative of the American Globalist Empire.’ Trump superfan Nick Adams tweeted that the ‘Biden Administration is making a mockery of the country.’ Former GOP congressional candidate Andrew McCarthy said everyone involved ‘should be deported.'”
