Rosie O'Donnell Blasts Ed Sheeran and Robert Kraft Over Macklemore Tour Removal Rosie O'Donnell accused Ed Sheeran of supporting genocide and called Robert Kraft part of the billionaire elite after Macklemore was removed from Sheeran's tour for pro-Palestinian performances. Rosie O'Donnell blasted New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and singer Ed Sheeran on Friday during an appearance on Ireland's The Late Late Show, accusing Sheeran of making a very bad mistake after Macklemore was removed from his U.S. tour following the rapper's pro-Palestinian performances. O'Donnell Targets Sheeran and KraftIn a clip from the interview, O'Donnell said she believed Sheeran made a very bad mistake and predicted he would come to understand the ramifications of siding with a billionaire elite in supporting genocide rather than the people who say this is wrong. She added that people will not stand for it and that each human life matters.O'Donnell directly targeted Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium and founded the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, after host Patrick Kielty referenced Kraft's role in opposing Macklemore's appearance at the venue. She called Kraft part of the billionaire elite and said those are the most corrupt people in the United States right now, adding that they have performed a coup on the American government.Macklemore was removed from Sheeran's U.S. tour after repeatedly saying Free Palestine and performing Hind's Hall during shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The rapper alleged Kraft told Sheeran he would not be permitted to perform at Gillette Stadium and rallied other venue owners against his continued participation. Tour promoter Messina Touring Group said venues had informed them they would not allow concerts to proceed with Macklemore on the lineup.Support Grows for Macklemore's StanceThe controversy has drawn reactions from liberal lawmakers and activists who rallied behind Macklemore after the tour removal over his Free Palestine stance. Christian Toto, host of Hollywood in Toto, told Fox News Digital that celebrities face pressure within the entertainment industry to adopt a particular position on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. He compared the dynamic to the entertainment industry's response to Black Lives Matter.Toto said there is only one acceptable answer for celebrities when it comes to the ongoing conflict: say Free Palestine and nothing else. He called it the new BLM, a contentious issue where celebrities know they will gain approval within their circle by repeating that mantra. He added that most artists know better than to alienate audiences with their political views, calling the Springsteens, Morellos and Macklemores the exception.He noted concert ticket prices are too high for most bands to get on their soapbox and risk dooming repeat business. Nick Fondacaro, associate editor for NewsBusters, reacted to O'Donnell's comments by saying it was not surprising that an unabashed 9/11-truther took an irrational and unhinged position. He called it irresponsible and incendiary to claim a coup has taken place in America when political violence is on the rise.Fondacaro Backs Kraft's Venue RightsFondacaro said that given people like Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson have been killed by leftists for their political causes, Rosie's prediction that Sheeran will come to learn a lesson sounded like a warning or threat. He also called it hypocritical that a multimillionaire like Rosie thinks Robert Kraft did not have the same rights as she and Macklemore do.Fondacaro added that the stadium is Kraft's property and he can decide who to allow in or not, just like others can bar Kraft from their multimillion-dollar mansions. The incident continues to generate growing backlash, with a radio station banning Sheeran's songs and protest groups responding to Macklemore's removal.
