Roger Waters Stands with Petro Urging U.S. Troops to Defy Trump

Remember in school how you always had that friend who egged you on to do something naughty and when you did, you got punished and they got away with their involvement?

Why do I ask? Oh, no reason.

The State Department announced Friday that it will revoke the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro after he called on US troops to “disobey” President Trump during a New York City protest with controversial Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters. 

“Earlier today, Colombian president [Gustavo Petro] stood on a NYC street and urged US soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence,” the State Department posted on X

“We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions.”

Petro, who was in town for the United Nations General Assembly, got on a bullhorn outside the UN’s headquarters and called for “soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people.” 

“Disobey the orders of Trump,” he told a crowd of anti-Israel activists. “Obey the orders of humanity!” 

Waters, the British co-founder of Pink Floyd, was standing by Petro’s side as the Colombian leader called for the uprising. 

The pair later posed for photos next to a large Palestinian flag. 

“With Roger Waters. Free Palestine,” Petro posted on X, sharing a video of himself and Waters.

I implore the State Department to investigate Roger Waters’ role in this, as well as any other treacherous statements and actions he may have made – whether from his luxury real estate in the Hamptons (built next to Shinnecock Indian Nation lands) or his Manhattan Townhouse.

And if he is found to have worked against the US, it shouldn’t be too hard to kick him out.

In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Waters was asked if he is a US citizen. 

“No,” the rock star responded, adding, “I have a visa. I pay tax — a lot of tax.”
