CRYING WOLF: Linda Ronstadt to Mike Pompeo: Stop ‘Enabling’ Donald Trump.

Ronstadt has probably forgotten the minor role she played in enabling Trump, including her telling the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2004, “It’s a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I’d rather not know.”

Pauline Kael could not be reached for comment.

UPDATE: Also from 2004: Casino gives Ronstadt the boot: “Singer Linda Ronstadt not only got booed, she got the boot after praising filmmaker Michael Moore and his new movie ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ during a performance. Before singing ‘Desperado’ for an encore Saturday night, Ronstadt called Moore a ‘great American patriot’ and ‘someone who is spreading the truth.’ She also encouraged the audience at the Aladdin hotel-casino to see the documentary about President Bush. Ronstadt’s comments drew loud boos, and some of the 4,500 people in attendance stormed out of the theater. People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.”
