Maines has been vocal in her criticism of Donald Trump, particularly his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It is crazy that we have a leader that is — I mean, it’s murder,” she told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show. “It’s second-degree murder.” In addition, she posted a remix of The Chicks’ song “Gaslighter” where she added misleading quotes from Trump.
The group was vocal in 2003 where Maines said she was “ashamed” of then-President George W. Bush being from Texas. The remarks came as Bush was invading Iraq.
The fourth day of the DNC also has performances from John Legend and Common slated as well as Joe Biden formally accepting the Democratic presidential bid.
The Chicks’ performance was a big hit on Twitter:

Also, they were right about the war. In 2003.

Wow – The Chicks opening with some beautiful harmony on our notoriously hard to sing national anthem. Best Star Spangled Banner since Whitney Houston Super Bowl 1991. pic.twitter.com/9mnyWPoqht

The Chicks are living proof that when you're in the right, you'll eventually be proven right.
Good for them.
