America's Got Talent' alum loses gig on ZZ Top guitarist's tour after posing in MAGA hat, holding Ch

I said the reason he was kicked off the tour wasn't clear and that we weren't being given the whole story.

You replied by endlessly posting Facebook's reason for the ban, not Top's for the firing.

Clear now?

 

If he has a history of this, I get why Top might dump him.

I'm sure we'll hear more about his other possible shenanigans...

 

Which came from Blount

There’s something more here......this idea that he was removed for wearing a MAGA hat doesn’t hold water

 

I think you are just playing games now so I won't waste any more time on you. Have a nice day

 

On?

Yeah, and how long do you think I would last if I joined a rural Texas church group and started mentioning how abortion rights are a necessity?

Probably not very long.

Or if I went to work at Microsoft and wanted to use my IPad at work?

Know your audience. If your thoughts and ideas stand in direct contrast of your employer, either keep them to yourself or go work somewhere that's more in line with your ideas.

It's unfortunate, but the alternative is using the power of the State to compel people to accept you.

 

What was the post? It clearly wasn’t. The “I voted” post. That **** is just made up right wing ferver

 

Concur.

 

Until some other cause is provided we can only go with available facts. Those facts are he was banned from FB for his MEGA post on FB and then kicked off the tour due to the same post. I'm glad to see that even you think that is not appropriate if true.

 

I think you're having problems making simple distinctions between Facebook and ZZ Top.

ZZ Top are the guys with the beards.

They fired the dude for some reason, and Facebook banned him for some reason.

We're not getting the whole story for either action.

Clear now?

 

ZZ Top has provided no reason for the firing.

I'm sure we'll learn more.

 

Two other notable mentions: Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, are registered Republicans who have successful, award-winning projects on TV, film, and Broadway.

 

No "cause" is needed.

This MORON (Blount) is crying b/c he lost his access to free drugs and groupies.

Billy could fire him for any reason.

Blount sounds like just another Trump Snowflake (who thinks the rules of society don't apply to him).

 

So ZZ Top doesn't want this imbecile's name on their tour. So what? Start your own tour, complainers.

 

As I said Hollywood and the music industry have long denied this blacklisting of conservatives and now that it's coming out into the open it's interesting to see leftist like you defend it. I'm curious what you would say if IBM fired somebody for voting for Obama.

 

South Park, lol

 

So now anyone can be fired for voting for Hillary and that's ok by you?

 

From the OP's link:

No reason was given for Blount's removal from the tour, only that the post “did not meet community standards,” Blount said.

His Facebook page shows several posts in support of President Trump and Republicans and others bashing Democrats and liberals.

So Blount himself - not the sharpest tool in the marquee - supplied the garbled "reason" for his firing.

Not credible.

And - according to Fox - his Facebook page reveals a history of behaving like a Tool, as AJ said.

So we know why he was fired, but not necessarily about the Facebook ban.

But clearly this was an act of terrorism by America haters; much more serious than deadly right-wing terror attacks & bomb mailings.

 

Of course, he wasn't fired just for voting for someone. Spare me your loaded, dumb questions.

 

Yeah - even Fox says he has a Facebook history of bashing liberals and Democrats.

 

Massive flip flop? Guess who went insane when some one who wasn't a customer couldn't use a bathroom? I'll give you a hint: They were the same people who claim to be tolerant and inclusive.

If you guys really are tolerant and inclusive then you'd denounce the bigotry and discrimination shown to the guy in the OP.

 

South Park is one of the best shows out there for satirical commentary on current events. These guys will often put together a show just days after a major controversy to stay relevant, and it leans heavily right, on the very left-leaning Comedy Central.

PC Principal is one of their best characters!

 

He was fired for FB post saying he voted for trump.

"Drove down here (Atlanta) from Greenville, South Carolina to the venue. I get a call from my friend from California who informs me that not only have I been banned from Facebook but as a result from being banned from Facebook I was pulled off of the Billy Gibbons tour, effectively immediately,” Blount said in a Facebook Live video."

 

Depends on the law in appropriate jurisdictions & the nature of the contract/s.

 

Naw.

And according to Fox, he has a history of inflammatory attacks on social media.

Top had enough.

Bye-bye Blount.
