While the rich and famous people in the audience laughed at these impressions, regular folk took to Twitter to say how disrespectful it was. It would seem that the liberal elite have severely underestimated both their self-importance and their fan base.
While the impressions were mostly warmly received by the star-studded audience, Twitter users skewered the stars, and particularly Hadid, for what at least one critic called a “disgusting display.”
Hadid and Pharaoh weren’t the only performers to make political statements during Sunday night’s AMAs.
While performing their latest song “Bang Bang,” rock band Green Day broke out into a chant onstage, shouting “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!”
Singer Indina Menzel also took shot at President-elect Trump while presenting an award alongside Dallas Mavericks owner and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban, who has also been critical of Trump.
Menzel asked Cuban what’s the one thing he’s looking forward to next year. “Not being invited to the inauguration is a good start,” Cuban said.
In the wake of this election, the left sees themselves as endearing heroes, who will fight for the people, but all they’re really fighting for is their bank accounts. And the events of the American Music Awards seem to mirror those of the Hamilton viewing, the only difference being that Mike Pence wasn’t in the audience. In both cases, however, the people with the microphone thought they were more important than they actually are. After all, Jay Pharaoh’s claim to fame is Saturday Night Live and Gigi Hadid’s claim to fame is being a beautiful. Quite the resume those two have.
Check out the video below.
“I was honored to host the AMA’s last night and to work with some of the most respected writers in the business,” Hadid said in the note, which was posted to Twitter. “I removed or changed anything in the script that I felt took the joke too far, and whether or not you choose to see it, what remained was done in good humor and with no bad intent.”
She finished her note by adding: “I too have been the center of a nationally televised comedy skit that poked fun at my actions, and was able to find the humor in it. I believe Melania understands show business and the way shows are written and run. I apologize to anyone that I offended & have only the best wishes for our country.”

I understand there is a difference, but because I can relate to Melania, I felt like I had to say something. I too have an accent and probably always will have one. People are generally good about it but had this been done to me I would have been hurt. It’s hard enough to fit in
My comment wasn’t aimed at you darling… but I’ve had it up to my eyebrows by the Liberals calling anyone and everyone a racist because they may happen to disagree with someone of color on their comment or their ideas.
Dog
Too late brat …….your parents must be real proud of you….
Who is this cretin, I never heard of her.
The Democ. Are nothing but trouble..
No logic. Just immaturity. She’s just following the liberal left.. because she can’t think for herself.
BOTH of her parents are immigrants and have thick accents…….she should know better than to do something like that.
Gigi who? Who cares?
You wish you looked as good as Melanie pig
