Not really news to those who know about him but pathetic just the same.

Jimmy Buffett changes his tunes, decries Trump during rally for Florida Democrats

Mr. “Margaritaville” Jimmy Buffett shared a stage with Florida Democrats on Saturday, taking shots at President Trump and Republicans in the process.

"Andrew Gillum's going to win," Buffett told a crowd of onlookers at West Palm Beach, referring to the Democratic Tallahassee mayor who's running for governor of the state against GOP challenger Ron DeSantis, a former congressman.

Then Buffett altered the lyrics to one of his songs, "Come Monday," to reference Tuesday’s election: "Come Tuesday, things will change. Come Tuesday, we’re making a change. It’s been two insane years and it’s time to really switch gears. It's been two insane years and it's time to switch gears."

Later, Buffett changed some words to his biggest hit, "Margaritaville," to poke fun at Rick Scott, Florida's Republican governor, who is now seeking a U.S. Senate seat: "Some people say there's a red tide to blame," Buffett sang, "but I know, that it's all Rick Scott's fault."

Appearing with Buffett, Gillum urged voters to reject the politics of Trump and the GOP, saying, "We're being convinced we've got to step on our neighbor's shoulder and on their backs ... in order for us to get ahead," the Tampa Bay Times reported.

I don't have a problem with uber rich entertainers/celebrities endorsing socialist candidates as long as they are willing to remit 90% of their earnings back to the government to support their socialist commitment.

It’s news to me. I’ve always liked Buffet and he is a MARKETING genius....so I never though he’d take a political stand. It has to be outside his demographics politics...middle aged white people dreaming of an escape have to include a lot of Trumpkins....

Dude he played at a fundraising concert for Hillary in the Hampton’s in 2016...

Hardly his first time taking a political stance.

He's in the entertainment industry. It's chic to support socialists and you're an outcast to support conservative causes.

I watched as his resort was built on St. Thomas.

He loves capitalism when it puts money in HIS account.

Hypocrite.

You kidding right? He's leaned Democrat for years. That's fine but going the socialism route is a little overboard imo.

He’s probably drunk or high. Dude has spent too much time out in the sun. It’s cooked his brain

Got this from a boat captain im really good friends with. This seems to be the general consensus of those who personally know the guy. Fraud and a genuine dickhole.

You're dumber than grass clippings. Currently if you vote Dim you're endorsing the slide into socialism whether you acknowledge it or not.

I gotta wonder how Jimmy Buffett’s life has been altered for the worse in the 2 years of President Trump. All these celebs sure seem pissed for a group that screams that Trump is only helping the rich.

Since his fundraiser for Hillary his PCB Margaritaville location doesn't seem to have nearly as much business as it did beforehand.
