Mick Jagger's national Trump-trolling tour continues with new Georgia jab
Mick Jagger continued his Donald Trump-trolling tour this weekend when the iconic Rolling Stones frontman reminded the crowd to do their civic duty.
Jagger was introducing the fan favorite "Sweet Virginia" chosen by concert attendees in Atlanta's Mercedez-Benz Stadium when he admitted the band had wanted another outcome, according to an Atlanta Journal Constitution report.
“We wanted to play `Wild Horses,’” Jagger reportedly told the crowd. “All we needed was 11,000 more votes. There’s a more important vote coming up in November. Don’t forget to vote in that one.”
This marks the third time Jagger's delivered snark directed as conservative lawmakers near their own turf.
In Florida, Jagger joked Gov. Ron DeSantis had shown up with Mickey Mouse — a dig at the conservatives' lengthy legal battle against Disney — and in the tri-state area last month, Jagger took a jab at Trump, who was hosting a rally on the other side of the Hudson River.
“I was a bit worried about the weather tonight,” Jagger said. “I thought we were going to get a Stormy Daniels but we’re all right.”
How Donald Trump could run for president — and lead the nation — from prison
Jagger was riffing on the adult film star who took the stand in Trump's criminal hush money trial to testify she was paid $130,000 to keep a story about an affair to herself.
Trump was subsequently convicted of charges that he falsified business records to conceal the payments. Trump denies an affair with Daniels and contends he is the victim of a political witch hunt — a claim political analysts note he has "precisely zero evidence" to back up.
Jagger's most recent gibe was made in the city where Trump faces criminal racketeering charges linked to Georgia's 2020 presidential election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had likely hoped to bring Trump to trial before the 2024 election, but Trump's attorneys have successfully pushed back proceedings by challenging her qualifications as a prosecutor.
Now experts say the trial will likely take place in 2025, after the election in which Jagger urged attendees to vote.
