    Musician John Fogerty lashed out at President Trump on Friday and said
    he is issuing a cease and desist order over the president’s campaign
    using the famous Creedence Clearwarer Revival song “Fortunate Son” at events.

    “I object to the President using my song, ‘Fortunate Son’ in any
    way for his campaign. He is using my words and my voice to portray
    a message that I do not endorse,” the rock icon shared in a statement
    on Twitter.

    “Therefore, I am issuing a ‘cease and desist’ order. I wrote this song because, as a veteran, I was disgusted that some people were allowed
    to be excluded from serving our country because they had access to
    political and financial privilege. I also wrote about wealthy people
    not paying their fair share of taxes.”

    Fogerty added that “Mr. Trump is a prime example of both of these
    issues. The fact that Mr. Trump also fans the flames of hatred, racism
    and fear while rewriting recent history, is even more reason to be
    troubled by his use of my song."
