U2 ended their politically-charged performance in front of the Statue of Liberty during Sunday night’s Grammy Awards with a shout-out to “shithole countries,” a reference to a controversial comment reportedly made by President Trump.
“Blessed are the shithole countries,” Bono yelled into a megaphone in a moment that was reportedly censored during some broadcasts.
The statement was a riff on a remark allegedly made by Trump in reference to Haiti and some African nations.
The moment capped off an immigration-focused performance of their song “Get Out of Your Own Way,” part of a pre-taped segment at Sunday’s 60th annual awards ceremony in New York.
