.............Blind opera star Andrea Bocelli was forced to back out of performing at the inauguration after receiving death threats, while one of the headline acts, black Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday, was bullied into cancelling. So let me get this straight: it’s now OK to attack the visually impaired and women of colour, but only if they dare accept Trump’s legitimacy?
