@foxnews: Democrats are now putting their weight behind Macklemore. Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Ro Khanna are among those defending Macklemore, with Khanna praising his "courage." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says powerful elites moved to "censor" the rapper, alleging this is about more than just Macklemore. Macklemore was dropped from the remaining U.S. dates after repeatedly calling for a "Free Palestine" and performing his anti-Israel song "Hind's Hall." The tour promoter says venues warned they would not allow concerts to proceed with him on the lineup. The controversy is now fueling a bigger fight over free speech, antisemitism, and where venues draw the line.
