Morgan Wallen Won’t Be Getting His Name On New Bar Due To His ‘Harmful Actions’

Morgan Wallen won’t be following in the footsteps of country superstar’s like Garth Brooks with his name in neon lights outside his new Nashville bar, due to his “harmful actions.”

Wallen’s downtown bar on Broadway is scheduled to open this Memorial Day Weekend, but the Nashville City council has voted down plans for the 30-year-old country singer to have a 20-foot neon sign on the outside of his six-story bar advertising “Morgan Wallen’s This Bar,” the Tennessean reported.

The council members voted 30-3 against the proposed signage because of the country singer’s recent arrest for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct for throwing a chair off the roof of Chief’s bar in downtown Nashville on April 7. The council also cited when Wallen was caught on video using the N-word after a drunken night in January 2021. The singer later apologized and said he was both “embarrassed and sorry.”

“I don’t want to see a billboard up with the name of a person who’s throwing chairs off of balconies and who is saying racial slurs,” At-large Council member Delishia Porterfield said Tuesday.

The council members voted no Tuesday night to allowing Wallen’s very own neon sign to go up outside his bar. Thirty members voted against the signage while only three members voted in favor of it. https://t.co/LHwvAzgEXR

Metro Councilmembers Jordan Huffman said Wallen’s actions and past comments should not be applauded, WZTV Fox 17 Nashville reported.

“He gives all of us a bad name,” Huffman said. “His comments are hateful, his actions are harmful and he [doesn’t] belong in this town as far as I’m concerned.”

“I’m tired of this city bending over to just make anybody happy that makes a comment that they want to,” he added. “We continue to go down this road.”

Councilwoman Antoinette Lee said she voted the proposed signage down because she said Wallen showed “harmful actions” when he allegedly threw the chair from the bar’s roof.

Another councilwoman, Sherri Weiner, said she voted no out of respect for everyone in the city of Nashville.

“I don’t know how we stand here and file resolutions that speak to inclusion and respect for other people,” Weiner said. “And out of respect for everyone in this room and for everybody in this city, I have to vote no.”

Weeks after the reports about the chair throwing incident, Wallen finally addressed being arrested and made it clear he wasn’t “proud” of what happened in April.

“I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks,” Wallen wrote. “I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”

“I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe,” he added. “Regarding my tour, there will be no change.”

John Kerry ‘Actively And Persistently Interfered With FBI’ Arresting Terrorists, Criminals Supporting Illegal Iranian Weapons Programs: Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers have informed top Republican senators that former President Barack Obama’s State Department blocked the FBI from executing arrest warrants against illegal aliens in the U.S. who were financially backing Iran’s efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction.

Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) said that for nearly 20 years, Republican and Democrat administrations imposed sanctions on “Iranian individuals, companies, and organizations for involvement in nuclear proliferation, ballistic missile development, support for terrorist groups, and human rights abuses.”

They noted that even one of Obama’s executive orders and a law passed during the Obama-era, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, were created to hold Iran accountable.

However, whistleblowers informed the senators that while the Obama-Biden administration publicly committed to “prevent[ing] Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons by raising the cost of Iran’s defiance of the international community,” former Secretary of State John Kerry worked to undermine those efforts.

“Kerry actively interfered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executing arrest warrants on individuals in the U.S. illegally supporting Iranian efforts, including financial efforts, to develop weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and its ballistic missile program,” the letter said. “The records show that Justice Department and FBI leadership, to include then-Attorney General Lynch and then-FBI Director Comey, failed to take the necessary steps to stop Kerry’s obstructive efforts against law enforcement.”

The letter continued:

For example, unclassified FBI email records from August 25, 2017, detailed at least eight instances connected to the Iran deal where the “FBI/DOJ/USG could have moved forward with the cases but the State Department chose to block them.” According to the records, in six of these instances, the FBI lost the opportunity to arrest the main subject. The email says that one of the lost main subjects was noted to be “on the Terrorism Watch List” and another “returned to Iran.” The email further says that in another instance the State Department “blocked [FBI’s] plan to arrest while the subject was mid-flight and the subject was forced to leave the US immediately upon arrival.” The email also provides that at least two targets were arrested only after “State lifted their block…since the new [Trump] Administration took office.”

The letter said that these efforts to obstruct law enforcement were done “due to political reasons,” the letter said.

The letter said that Kerry’s efforts to obstruct law enforcement became such an issue that then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch had to meet with Kerry about the matter.

“The records provided to our offices show that the Obama/Biden administration’s State Department, under the leadership of John Kerry, actively and persistently interfered with FBI operations pertaining to lawful arrests of known terrorists, members of Iranian proliferation networks, and other criminals providing material support for Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs,” the letter said. “The records also show that DOJ and FBI leadership apparently allowed it to happen until the Trump administration altered course.”
