The musician has also spoken out about the mass shooting in Orlando
Morrissey has responded to the mass shooting at an Orlando gay club which left 50 people dead, and has also weighed in on the US presidential election.
Speaking of the horrific shooting on fan site True To You, the former Smiths frontman said, “Although the gunman who massacred 49 people at an Orlando gay club is said to have been 'repulsed' by homosexuality, he nonetheless left behind a slew of self-adoring 'selfies'; a handsome man gazing enchantedly at his own face.”
He continued, “It is therefore acceptable for him to lovingly admire his own maleness, but it is not OK for other men to like other men. Does Islamic scripture say it is fitting for a man to sit alone taking adoring photographs of himself? I doubt it.”
Turning his attention to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Morrissey went on to say, “Donald Thump [sic], probably America's next President, reacts to the Orlando massacre by explaining how, if the people within the club were themselves armed with guns, then there would have been fewer casualties. This, of course, is his way of avoiding any words of support to the Orlando gay community (it is their own fault for going into a nightclub without hand grenades).”
He’s not a fan of probable Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton either, describing her as “the face and voice of pooled money,” who will “repay the established elite with whatever they want if she is elected).”
One person in whom Morrissey does have faith is Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s Democratic opponent, who is currently refusing to concede his nomination to Clinton. “Bernie Sanders has been pushed out by the media,” Morrissey insisted, “because the idea of a self-made man who does not crave international war is completely alien to such as Fox News.
“The idea of a man who is popular because he calls for world peace and for rescue of the environment cannot provide outraged headlines for CNN, who have devoted their online news page to Donald Thump long before Thump was even a logical contender. Thump doing absolutely nothing has been more newsworthy to CNN than Sanders' state-to-state victories.”
