Rufus Wainwright Condemns Trump's Use of Hallelujah

Rufus Wainwright has condemned the use of his cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' during a recent Trump rally, describing it as 'the height of blasphemy.' Wainwright expressed his horror at witnessing Trump and his supporters sway to the music, which he believes should symbolize peace and acceptance. He stated that he is 'mortified' and hopes that Trump might reflect on the song's true meaning, although he remains skeptical. The Cohen estate has sent a cease and desist letter to the Trump campaign regarding the unauthorized use of the song. Wainwright, who is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, joins other artists in opposing the use of their music by Trump's campaign. The event in Oaks, Pennsylvania, was characterized as a bizarre musical moment, with Trump and his aides standing on stage during the extended play of various songs.
