    A Statement From Joe Walsh Regarding His Withdrawl From a Concert Event on Monday, July 18th in Cleveland, OH
    April 20, 2016 - "It was my understanding that I was playing a concert which was a non partisan event to benefit the families of American veterans on Monday, July 18 in Cleveland. The admat I approved said this specifically. Today it was announced that this event is, in fact, a launch for the Republican National Convention. In addition, my name is to be used to raise sponsorship dollars for convention-related purposes. Therefore, I must humbly withdraw my participation in this event with apologies to any fans or veterans and their families that I might disappoint.
    I am very concerned about the rampant vitriol, fear-mongering and bullying coming from the current Republican campaigns. It is both isolationist and spiteful. I cannot in good conscience endorse the Republican party in any way. I will look at doing a veteran related benefit concert later this year."
    -- Joe Walsh

    WTG to Joe. I can't believe they made a fool out of him. Say it was for this and it end up being something else. I'm glad he caught it in time.

    If this is even a small fraction as bad it sounds, it smacks of pure desperation on the part of that party. I'll leave it at that.

    It's more than his name. He was misled into agreeing to perform at what he thought was a benefit for veterans.

    Yes that's true but I am a Republican and was furious on how he threw all Republicans in his last statement. But yes it is disgraceful how he was deceived.
