Alicia Keys is facing a pile-on from MAGA supporters after she spoke about women’s rights on America’s 250th anniversary.
The “Empire State of Mind” singer, 45, shared a July 4 video on Instagram acknowledging the holiday in which she pointed out that “women still don’t have an explicit guarantee to equal rights under the U.S. Constitution.”
“Can you believe that?” she said. “I couldn’t even believe that was real. I mean, women are not asking for special rights, just equal rights. Let’s turn outrage into authorship. If it’s the 250th celebration of the country, isn’t it time to update some things?”
