The on-stage moment that will likely get pro-Palestinian rap duo banned from US

President Donald Trump is not playing around with his support of the United States’ allies.

The president is strongly considering a visa revocation for British rapper Pascal Robinson-Foster after he led a chant of “Death to the IDF” during a show in Glastonbury. Robinson-Foster performs alongside fellow rapper Grandson as the duo “Bob Vylan” and is expected to tour the United States this fall, but may run into some trouble if Trump has anything to say about it.

Watch the controversial moment:

In all my years skirting the fringes of right-wing groups, I’ve never once been at a meeting or rally where a crowd openly chanted death to anyone, let alone thousands screaming it in unison. pic.twitter.com/wtqQ3tV8Bu

Right before the artist led the crowd in chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF,” a screen behind them lit up with the phrase: “Free Palestine. United Nations have called it a genocide. The BBC calls it a ‘conflict.’”

This clip got the attention of high-ranking American politicians like Sen. Ted Cruz:

Truly sick. Thousands of people screaming “Death to the IDF.”

Even U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the moment “appalling hate speech,” while others call for the BBC to investigate why the live feed of the festival wasn’t pulled for broadcasting the chants.

“We are very concerned about the live stream of this performance, and the BBC clearly has questions to answer,” said Ofcom, the independent U.K. media regulator.

Department of Justice’s Task Force to Combat Antisemitism chair Leo Terrell made it clear the Trump administration is taking this very seriously:

“These abhorrent chants, which included calls for the death of members of the Israeli Defense Forces, are abhorrent and have no place in any civil society,” he said in a statement to the Daily Wire, adding that the department would work “to determine what measures are available to address the situation and to prevent the promotion of violent antisemitic rhetoric in the United States.”
