Darren Hayes to Cory Bernardi: "Remove my music... or expect contact from my publisher"

Australian singer/songwriter, Darren Hayes has threatened Cory Bernardi and the Australian Conservatives after Bernardi included his music in a Spotify play list. A Tweet by the Australian Conservatives says, the play list was launched by Bernardi as “an alternative to Triple J’s ‘Hottest 100’ after they abandoned Australia Day.”

Hayes responded by saying, “I do not want to be associated with you, your party or your views. Remove my music from this stunt or expect contact from my publisher…”

Hi @CoryBernadi and @AuConservatives. I do not want to be associated with you, your party or your views. Remove my music from this stunt or expect contact from my publisher @SonyATV https://t.co/fBmVisypLz

How tolerant… Bernardi responded to Hayes’ threat by suggesting the singer “get over” himself:

Get over yourself @darrenhayes. Music is for everyone. https://t.co/zZyYFd9nC1

A brief scroll through Hayes’ feed demonstrates how truly bitter and divisive the left are. Ironically, it was only on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, that Hayes urged his followers to “find our inner MLK.” Because “It’s the only way we’re gonna get through this.”
