'One World: Together At Home' Concert Faces Massive Backlash From Pro Trump Supporters

Global Citizen's “One World: Together at Home” concert drew mammoth wrath soon after it was aired on multiple stations across the United States and overseas on Saturday night.

The gig, which saw an impressive line-up of some of the biggest music stars and politicos, was slammed by the audiences for supporting WHO— the health organization that has been accused of allegedly being “China Centric” coupled with its ineptitude in handling the pandemic during its early stages.

“Yes, we need useless celebrities preaching to us how this isn't China's fault and how we should just all live as one nation," said one Amazon review of the concert, dissing the double standards of the show. A flurry of caustic comments came flooding in: “No thank you this is for the WHO,” another tweeted. “NO THANK YOU.” “If I could give No stars I would,” another Amazon review read. “WHO lied! People died!! Let's not forgot this!!! While we're home given up our freedom and most of us without jobs these CELEBRITIES ask us to help raise money for the WHO?! Forget it!”

The organizers of the event divulged that corporate sponsors have released $150 million as proceeds towards the WHO’S COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. The concert was broadcast by some of the biggest networks and affiliates across the country – ABC, MSNBC, NBC Sports, and other cable channels.

The star-studded gig saw a line-up of celebrities like Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Stevie Wonder, British soccer star David Beckham, former U.S. first ladies Michelle Obama and Laura Bush, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Billie Eilish, Bill Gates, and several others. Despite the severe backlash, celebrities vouched for how WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was a “superstar.”

Speculations are also rife that the dissing largely came from pro-Trump supporters. Who endured Trump Administration’s wrath earlier this month when President Donald Trump halted all U.S. funding for the WHO earlier after demanding for a further probe into the organization’s handling of the outbreak and its rapport with China.

At present, WHO finds itself in the eye of the storm after dodging questions about what took the organization so long to term the novel coronavirus as a global pandemic. The health organization also faces an explanation for another questionable move: Siding with Beijing's perspective that the virus was transmitted to humans at a wild animal “wet market” in Wuhan.
