People Aren t Exactly Here For Demi Lovato Making Music About The Capitol Riots
The singer said she was in the studio when violent pro-Trump forces stormed the U.S. Capitol building.
As pro-Trump supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday afternoon, Demi Lovato said she was already in the studio, where she switched gears to work “on something special” about the “assault on democracy.”
The “I Love Me” singer was among a chorus of celebrities who condemned the president for inciting a riot over the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
“My heart is broken. It makes me [too] sad to believe how naive I was to think this couldn’t possibly happen, and yet it did. Here we are,” Lovato tweeted.

Pandering to his right-wing viewers, the Fox News host ominously declared that Biden and Democrats will exploit the mob violence to squash the rights of Americans.
Carlson condemned the mayhem, but tried to explain the frustration of those who believe the election was a sham ― a falsehood promoted by Trump and his enablers.
“Rather than trying to change their minds, to convince them and reassure them that the system is real, that the democracy works ― as you would do if you cared about the country or the people who live here ― our new leaders will try to silence them,” Carlson said. “What happened today will be used by the people taking power to justify stripping you of the rights you were born with as an American. Your right to speak without being censored, your right to assemble, to not be spied upon, to make a living, to defend your family, most critically.”
