As a guest on Jon Stewart's 1990s tv show:

On Sunday (03Sep17) TMZ.com editors reported that Legend had placed an advertisement with Los Angeles agency Casting Networks inviting extras who are white and overweight to audition for roles as pro-Trump protesters in a new promo.
However, on Monday, John, 38, denied the casting call came from his camp, writing on Twitter, "There's a casting call out there claiming to represent me looking for 'out of shape' Trump supporters. This didn't come from me or my team"
He did reiterate his opposition to America's controversial 71-year-old leader though, adding, "still (sic) think Trump is awful and whoever voted for him did a disservice to the country. But I didn't issue this casting call."
The casting notice reportedly stated John was looking for eight "out of shape" white men and women between 30 and 65 years old to play the Trump supporters, younger white extras with "very short hair or short on sides, long on top" to portray other right-wing activists, and younger non-white actors to star as Black Lives Matter protesters.
John is an outspoken opponent of President Trump, whose seven months as America's leader have been marred by controversies including the death of an anti-racism activist during a rally of Trump-supporting white supremacists.
Despite heavy criticism, Trump has failed to change the outspoken approach that won him the presidency, and has regularly accused America's media and his political opponents of treating him unfairly.
But the Ordinary People singer John believes that when the billionaire-turned-politician attacks others, he is merely projecting his own flaws onto those he criticises.
"When he is criticising something, he is usually projecting," he tells The Guardian. "So, he calls people liars because he is a liar. He talks about the entertainment business because he rose through the entertainment business. He talks about people being corrupt, because he is corrupt. He talks about people being violent because he encourages violence. So, he's usually projecting when he criticises someone."
Whoops!
Who is this guy?
You forgot the Mega-Barf alert on this story.
>>Who is this guy?
Some tan-skinned minstrel. I hear he’s famous.
A Legend in his own mind.
Why doesn’t he just use Michael Moore?
Yep, sounds like it
“I didn’t issue that call! It was the casting agency I contracted with instructions for the type of actors I wanted!”
His publicity stunt work. Got him press. Didn’t have to pay a single actor.

Obama did that at his speech on healthcare to Congress:
Some of people’s concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Such a charge would be laughable if it weren’t so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple.
There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false – the reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up – under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.
My health care proposal has also been attacked by some who oppose reform as a “government takeover” of the entire health care system. As proof, critics point to a provision in our plan that allows the uninsured and small businesses to choose a publicly-sponsored insurance option, administered by the government just like Medicaid or Medicare.
So he called his critics liars and then lied about his own plan. Illegals are covered (at least in California).
Gee I hope his giant ego isn’t hurt when 99 percent of America has no damn idea who he is.
“Tan-skinned”?
>>“Tan-skinned”?
That was the closest color in my Crayola 64 crayon box.
