Inauguration singer Jackie Evancho tweeted her stand for transgender rights Wednesday and doubled down Thursday, appearing with her trans sister Juliet on TV in hopes of reaching President Trump.
On “Good Morning America” Thursday, Juliet (born Jacob), 18, “told George Stephanopoulos about how she faces discrimination all the time and she shared that not being allowed to use the bathroom of her choice was ‘unsafe and unhealthy,’” the paper recounted.
Also unsafe: Looking at reaction online to Jackie’s performing the national; anthem for Trump one month and opposing him the next.
Many were quick to ask: Why did you sing for Trump when he might side against your sister?
A chronology, beginning with Jackie’s initial tweet:
. @realDonaldTrump u gave me the honor 2 sing at your inauguration. Pls give me & my sis the honor 2 meet with u 2 talk #transgender rghts ❤

So when Jackie Evancho help promote Trump who did she think she was helping. Selling out so early in so called career. Very sad!

Jackie Evancho didn’t care when he said racist and sexist things. Yet decides to speak up when it affects her brother!

Perhaps Jackie Evancho should have shown this type of concern before she accepted that invite to sing at the Inauguration?

Jackie Evancho is a perfect example of standing up only when it affects you personally. She knew who she performed 4 at innauguration. @GMC
