Neil Young sadly keeps getting pulled into Donald Trump‘s orbit against his wishes, as the Trump campaign is once again in some hot water after using Young’s music at his Mt. Rushmore rally held last night, July 3, 2020.

He doubled-down and said he stands with the Lakota Sioux in a subsequent tweet.

Let’s see if Young’s music shows up again at another rally after this.
