Willie Nelson fans are upset with the singer over the news that he’s not only supporting a Democratic Senate contender, but is headlining a rally in Texas for him. Nelson announced on his Facebook page that he’ll be headlining the Turn Out For Texas rally for candidate Beto O’Rourke, who is running against Sen. Ted Cruz. As Austin360 reported, Nelson brought O’Rourke on stage during his Fourth of July Picnic summer concert. Now he’s doubling down on his support by joining Joe Ely, Carrie Rodriguez, Tameca Jones and his two sons, Lukas and Micha Nelson, at the Sept. 29 rally.

Willie is the kind of guy that would vote for a candidate just because they say they will try to legalize marijuana

Isn’t Willie a PT member? WillieNelsonsDoobie?

Seriously, Willie is a damn mess but he’s a fricking legend and I still dig his music.

A guy that's been constantly stoned since like 1970. Think how neurotic and paranoid stoners are. Dude is completely insane these days.

I think Willie's tour bus gets pulled over on the reg because the cops know there's going to be weed in there. Most just do it so they can meet Willie.

Ah, leave the old man alone and let him smoke his weed.

I was talking to a guy who is working on the Abbott campaign the other day.

I asked him if he thought Beto had a chance and he said Beto is a lock.

This dude was driving a smart car and lived in Austin so take that with a grain of salt. But Beto should not be underestimated.

More like a mountain of salt. It's extremely hard to unseat an entrenched incumbent.

With all the Beto signs accompanied by the "water is life, there’s no hate here" signs popping up in my neighborhood, the Cruz signs are starting to emerge now.

Personally, I think yard signs are trashy and an invitation for judgement in these times, so my yard, and most yards in my neighborhood will stay bare of them.

I work for a company that is San Fran based so occasionally someone will say something political. You get that one lib who says something and you see 10 other people side eye each other in acknowledgement that we should remain silent. While Beto voters are vocal, the majority I believe, is voting for Lion Ted.

Didn't Willie sing a song with Toby Keith about hanging bad people from tall oak trees (which is code for lynching)?

Man, if you think Willie's fans don't know how he rolls politically you must live under a rock.

BETA adverts are nothing but feel good platitudes.

There is no substance.

I know Willie is a lefty, and yes, I'm sure his fans know this too. But doing a concert for Beto is going beyond him being a stoner.
