Country music star Travis Tritt gave a further explanation on Tuesday evening for why he decided to cancel concerts at venues that require masks, proof of COVID-19 vaccinations or a negative test to attend.
“I’m putting my money where my mouth is and announcing that any venue or promoter mandating masks, requiring vaccinations, or pushing COVID testing protocols on my fans will not be tolerated,” Tritt said earlier in a written statement. “This is a sacrifice that I’m willing to make to stand up for the freedoms that generations of Americans have enjoyed for their entire lifetimes.”

Appearing for an interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Tritt asserted that concerts have proven not to be “super-spreaders” as once thought and are actually safe enough to not require Covid-related restrictions on those who attend the events.
“This is not about following the science or trying to look out for the safety of the people there. This is about something else,” Tritt told Tucker.
“This is trying to divide people. This is trying to shame people,” he declared. “This is basically trying to discriminate against people that… they don’t feel are clean enough to be a part of enjoying a concert.” Video Below
