Wainwright stated that watching Trump and his supporters commune with 'Hallelujah' was 'the height of blasphemy.' He emphasized the song's association with peace, love, and acceptance.
He expressed his mortification at the event and conveyed hope that Trump might feel remorse by truly listening to the lyrics of Cohen's song, despite being skeptical.
The publishing company for Leonard Cohen's estate has taken action by sending a cease and desist letter to the Trump campaign, addressing concerns over the song's use.
Wainwright highlighted the odd nature of the rally, especially after attendees fainted and indicated that other songs played, like 'Nothing Compares 2 U,' were also contentious.
