Donald Trump will hold a rally this afternoon at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall in Tucson and, as the city's First Lady of Rock, Ms. Ronstadt is none too pleased about it. In a statement issued yesterday evening, the Tucson-born and bred 78-year-old said, “It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican–American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit,” before deploring his “toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance.” 

Her main grievances with Trump, though, are the actions of his fired administration on the southern border, where she says they “systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum.” “There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused,” she wrote.

“Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House,” concluded the main part of her statement, but there was a special P.S. just for Trump's running mate J.D. Vance:

“I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
