Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump targeted pop star Miley Cyrus, the goddaughter of country music legend Dolly Parton. During a conference for Bitcoin enthusiasts on Saturday, Trump made a pointed comment about Miley while giving a shoutout to her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, an outspoken conservative.
Trump addressed the audience, saying, “Billy Ray Cyrus is here. Where is Billy Ray? He’s around here someplace, and he’s great. He’s a conservative guy.” He then took a jab at Miley, questioning, “I said, ‘How did you get such a liberal daughter? How had that happened, Billy Ray?’”
The exchange was captured on video and quickly circulated online, drawing reactions from both supporters and critics. Miley Cyrus, known for her progressive views, has been vocal about her opposition to Trump, once calling him a “fucking nightmare” before his 2016 election win.
