Donald Trump Jr. says Sam Smith's Grammy performance of "Unholy" is proof that the Hollywood music scene is ripe with satanic rituals.
Smith performed at the award show wearing a latex outfit with a devil-horned top hat and surrounded by "long-haired acolytes in identical red sheaths," while Kim Petras danced in a cage that was surrounded by "a trio of she-devils."
As the Grammys described it: The duo belted out in hellish harmony, "Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot/ At the body shop, doin' something unholy," as a wall of fire erupted on stage behind Petras' personal prison.
In a video circulating on Twitter, Trump Jr. said he felt the performance had a hidden meaning.
In the video, Trump Jr. said Smith's performance was reminiscent of a satanic ritual and claimed Hollywood was in partnership with pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, which sponsored the Grammys.
"You can't make this stuff up anymore. The next conspiracy theory to go down the drain is Hollywood, the music industry, totally not into the satanic rituals, despite all of the symbolism, despite all of the coincidence with said symbolism. It never ends," he said. "Maybe it's art, but why is it always this kind of art? Why is it never, like, regular art?"
Trump Jr. continued to say that Hollywood is influencing children by promoting the apparent satanic symbolism in performances and programs kids watch.
"They're controlling culture, that culture. The most popular people, the people who your kids watch and listen to and see ad nauseam, day in and day out," he said. "They're all in on it. They're going to crush everything we hold near and dear in America. Our morality, our decency, our religion, our freedom, and they're going to replace it with this crap."
"If you don't think this is part of the indoctrination process of our kids, you ain't been watching much at all," he added.
According to reports obtained by TMZ, the performance by Smith and Petras drew at least 18 complaints with CBS and the Federal Communications Commission over its "glorification" of Satan and "anti-Christian" display.
