In a humorous yet biting social media post, protest singer-songwriter Five Times August took a jab at Kamala Harris following news of an unlikely endorsement from Russian President Vladimir Putin. On X (formerly Twitter), the musician posted:
"Major endorsement for @KamalaHarris coming in. Excited to see all the leftist propaganda accounts handle this."
The irony is clear: Putin endorsing Harris, a key figure in the administration that accused Donald Trump of colluding with Russia, has sparked confusion and amusement. This twist is especially entertaining to Trump supporters, given the baseless media narratives that plagued Trump's presidency with accusations of Russian collusion. Despite the smear campaign, Trump proved strong on Russia, pushing policies that many argue demonstrated his toughness on the nation, including sanctions and bolstering NATO allies.
Five Times August, whose real name is Brad Skistimas, is no stranger to false media narratives. His recent songs, including "Liars, Cheats, and Crooks" and "Ain’t No Rock and Roll", tackle the media's deception and moral decay in our culture. His lyrics speak to those frustrated by the dishonest portrayals of figures like Trump, and his latest post poking fun at Harris's newfound Russian endorsement is yet another example of his sharp wit and no-nonsense critique of today's political landscape.
Five Times August’s rising prominence in the conservative music scene continues to make waves. He embodies a countercultural voice, amplifying the sentiments of those who reject the mainstream media’s narratives and embrace the fight for free speech and transparency.
