Guns N ‘Roses leader Axl Rose shared a long note on Twitter explaining why he is often so outspoken on the platform about his “disdain” for the Trump administration.
The 58-year-old singer shared a note with his followers on July 4 in which he tried to explain his propensity to be cheeky and politically outspoken on social media shortly after entering into a brief exchange with the American surgeon. General Jerome Adams. In her statement, Rose framed her online activism as a way to fight back in unprecedented times rather than seeking followers or attention.
“My contempt for the current administration and what I perceive as a threat to democracy is no secret,” began the rocker. “I’m not that active on social media, and yet I really appreciate anyone who is interested in something that can post. I’m really not interested in how many followers or retweets etc. I have politics or social issues are not about me. They refer to the problems. “

He continued: “In general, my posts regarding current events, politics, or social issues generally come from a feeling of outrage, obligation, and responsibility to say something at a time when I feel like I’m not complicit (rather than a desire for attention or self-promotion.) I am nobody, just a citizen who, like everyone else, has my own opinions and believes in my heart that, ultimately, I want the best not only for the country but for humanity, life wild and environment. “The other is opposed to fascism of the right, left or any other wing, at least in this country is free to disagree.”
Rose concluded her statement by noting that her political views often take the form of “lewd or immature” responses.
“So when I feel that someone in this administration, for example, or in the media, in entertainment or in the public, says or does something that, in my opinion, supports or satisfies the irresponsibility of this administration or various problems With the government or law enforcement, I can express an opinion, “he wrote. “Perhaps a strong or immature response or opinion, perhaps considered by some to be a lewd or immature response.

His most recent Twitter statement comes a day after he and Adams exchanged words on the social media platform. It all started when Rose tweeted to the Surgeon General calling her by her names and demanding that she resign for her response to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Hi Axl, I appreciate your passion (and your Guitar music),” Adams replied. “How about you help me save some lives by sharing the message of being safe and wearing face covers ?! Face with medical mask.
Rose responded with a jab that was likely referring to Adams’ recent appearance on the “Today” show in which he did not definitively say whether large social gatherings are a good idea at a time when cases across the country are on the rise.
