“What The President Said,” a new protest song by David Poe and Sister C, features voices from the Women’s March and the LAX protest.
The song challenges a president who many believe is imperiling American ideals with outrageous falsehoods, divisiveness, brinkmanship and incompetence, aiming to pander to base voters before midterm elections this November and beyond.
In this animated video, the Statue Of Liberty comes alive and leads a diverse and ever-growing group of Americans across the country. When Liberty falls and loses grip of her torch, the people come to her rescue. Before it hits the ground, a group of women catch Liberty’s torch in a formation evoking an iconic (and staged) World War II photo of U.S. Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima. Liberty retrieves the torch and it becomes a microphone: “Show me what democracy looks like!” The people run to Liberty, answering, “This is what democracy looks like.”
