After repeatedly boosting Joe Biden and bashing Donald Trump during last year’s presidential race, rocker Bruce Springsteen is now pushing for political reconciliation and unity in a commercial that is set to air during the Super Bowl LV telecast on Sunday.
Springsteen stars in “The Middle” — a two-minute Jeep commercial in which the New Jersey rocker urges Americans to gravitate toward the political center.
“It’s no secret the middle has been a hard place to get to lately,” he says in the ad.
“Between red and blue, between servant and citizen, between our freedom and our fear. Now fear has never been the best of who we are. And as for freedom, it’s not the property of just the fortunate few. It belongs to us all. Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, it’s what connects us, and we need that connection. We need the middle.”
During the presidential race, Springsteen repeatedly bad-mouthed Donald Trump, at one point declaring that he would leave the country if Trump were to be re-elected. The rocker also teamed up with left-wing activist and novelist Don Winslow on a viral video that used the discredited “suckers” and “losers” story from The Atlantic to smear Trump.
The singer performed during Biden’s inaugural celebration last month.
Naah, don’t think so Bruce. We voted for Trump. He won and when he is recognized as the winner then maybe, just maybe we can start to heal.
Well than there now. I only have two things to say about this junk. Number one, sorry I’ve owned two Jeep’s, not only because I had to go through the engine of one and replace another with a Chevrolet block. Number two, the old man spewing his nonsense isn’t relevant and thank goodness, never was during the day. I changed the station if that sorry dude came on screaming. Oh, screw The National Felony League too. I wouldn’t watch that crap if I were a football coach.
“We need the middle”, okay Bruce to you and the rest of the Democrats, here’s my middle finger!?
jeep springsteen and nfl three things I never care to hear about again! all are nothing but washed up bs!
Why are we giving these people ANY “air” time? Ignore, ignore, ignore their hypocritical rantings. I just rapidly scrolled past the article – I refuse to give any of my valuable time to discovering anything these people have to say.
