Punk icon Johnny Rotten defends Trump, slams "left-wing media"

[Ubiquitous]

Punk icon John Lydon, better known by his stage name Johnny Rotten,
defended U.S. President Donald Trump against the “left-wing media”
during a Monday interview in London.

The former Sex Pistols frontman, who became a U.S. citizen in 2013,
said on ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” that Mr. Trump is “a complicated
fellow” but doesn’t deserve being labeled a racist by his liberal
opponents.

“What I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear
the bloke as a racist, and that’s completely not true,” the 61-year-old
said. “There’s many, many problems with him as a human being, but he’s
not that, and there just might be a chance something good will come out
of that situation, because he terrifies politicians.”

Mr. Lydon said Mr. Trump is like a “political Sex Pistol” whose purpose
is to rattle the status quo. After co-host Piers Morgan described Mr.
Trump as “the archetypal anti-establishment character,” Mr. Lydon
added: “Dare I say, a possible friend.”

The former lead singer also declared his support for Brexit, saying he
stands with Britain’s “working class” who voted to exit the European
Union in June.

“Where do I stand on Brexit? Well, here it goes: The working class have
spoke, and I’m one of them, and I’m with them,” Mr. Lydon said, raising
his fist. “And there it is.”

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.
