Michael Jackson’s Daughter Mocks Trump, Urges Resistance at MTV VMAs

Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson, took the stage of the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night to mock President Donald Trump and denounce “neo-nazi jerks and white supremacists.”

“If we were to all put our voices together, do you realize the difference we would make?” the 19-year-old model asked the audience, before lampooning the president. “If we were to all stand up united as one, our impact, it would be huge; believe me, huge. And that’s not fake news.”
Before announcing the nominees for the Best Pop Video Award, the 19-year-old model condemned the neo-Nazis and white nationalists who caused violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, this month.
“We must show these Nazi white supremacist jerks in Charlottesville and all over the country that as a nation with liberty as our slogan, we have zero tolerance for their violence, their hatred, and their discrimination!” Jackson said. “We must resist.”

Jackson’ speech was the first to touch on the events of Charlottesville, while host Katy Perry joked that the world was “on fire” and in the “apocalypse” during her opening monologue.
