Rufus Wainwright criticized Trump for using 'Hallelujah' at a bizarre town hall, calling it blasphemy against a song representing peace and tolerance.
Wainwright expressed mortification at the sight of Trump and his supporters using the anthem, hoping it might inspire remorse in Trump for his actions.
The event's description varied widely, with NPR calling it a 'bizarre musical event' while the New York Times referred to it as a 'strange conclusion' to a political gathering.
The Leonard Cohen estate's publishing company issued a cease and desist letter to Trump's campaign, emphasizing a strong disapproval of the song's use in this context.
