Tucker Carlson Insult Inspires Maren Morris to Launch ‘Lunatic’ T-Shirt Fundraiser for Trans Rights Groups
thewrap.comlaunched a T-shirt that reads “Maren Morris: Lunatic Country Music Person,” followed by the phone number for the Trans Lifeline hotline.
All sales proceeds are to be split between the Trans Lifeline and GLAAD’s Transgender Media Program. Morris announced via Instagram stories that the shirts had raised $63,000 and went on to exceed more than $100,000 in just 15 hours.Carlson’s insult stems from Morris’ ongoing feud with Brittany Aldean, the wife of country star Jason Aldean.
On Aug. 23, Aldean posted a video of herself doing her makeup, accompanied by the caption “I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase.”She added in an Instagram story: “Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care’ is one of the worst evils.
I will always support my children and do what I can to protect their innocence.” “Lmao!! Im glad they didn’t too, cause you and I wouldn’t have worked out,” her husband responded to the original post.The Aldeans’ comments come at an especially fraught time for transgender youth and their parents.
