AceShowbiz - Pink isn't apologizing for her "polarizing opinions" after speaking out about the viral confrontation between a MAGA hat-wearing student and a Native American elder and veteran. Taking to her Instagram page on Thursday, January 24, the "Get the Party Started" hitmaker clapped back at those Internet trolls.
"Throw up Thursday. I am the same girl I've always been. I have always admitted when I am wrong. I have apologized many times," she wrote along with a picture of her wearing a red tank top. "I'm a big believer in apologies, when you're wrong. I was raised by a Vietnam Veteran who taught me to stand up for what I believe to be right. Even if that means standing alone."
"I do not now, nor have I ever apologized for some of my very polarizing opinions," she stressed, before challenging those critics to unfollow her, "If you are surprised by this, or offended, you have every right to unfollow me, as you really don't know who I am. I am mostly peace and love, with a little bit of go f**k yourself." She continued, "So when you keyboard warriors (anonymous toughguys) threaten me? that middle finger is pointed at you. Again: the unfollow button is (I think) top right of your screen. It lets you unfollow people you find make you uncomfortable. It's great. It really works."
She then addressed the situation of the politics in America. "This country is broken right now in a lot of ways," she jotted down. "It makes me very angry and sad." She added, "There are many beautiful people in the world and in this country who want equality for all. Justice. For people to be paid for their work. For their leaders to communicate in productive ways. For children to have respect for others, for veterans to be honored and treated with respect." She concluded the message by encouraging her followers to "keep fighting" for the country.
Pink posted the lengthy message after she weighed in on the viral video capturing the encounter between Covington student Nicholas Sandmann and Native American elder Nathan Phillips. "Appalling and beyond disrespectful. Nauseating," she described the situation.
Calling out the student, she went on writing, "What's going to be done about this? And why can't this s**t happen when I'm around? There'd be some headlines that day. That's for sure. Where are the chaperones???? Teachers??? Parents????"
