Beach Boys Brian Wilson and Al Jardine didn't know Mike Love's touring version of the group would be appearing at a Trump fundraiser in Orange County, saying they 'were very surprised to read about it in the Los Angeles Times'

“We have absolutely nothing to do with the Trump benefit today in Newport Beach. Zero,” Wilson and Jardine said tothrough a spokesperson. “We didn’t even know about it and were very surprised to read about it in the Los Angeles Times.”Sunday morning that the Beach Boys would be the main attraction performing for the president and his supporters at the Orange Country campaign event, with tickets ranging from $2,800 per donor to $150,000 a couple for co-chair status.

While some have been surprised that Trump would even visit as blue a state as California this close to the election, the Times’ article pointed to the huge potential cash haul that the president is expected to reel in from today’s benefit, badly needed as he trails Joe Biden badly in fundraising. “Everyone assumes he’s going to go to battleground states,” Jon Fleischman, a former state GOP official, told the Times. “No one really thinks about how Orange County, California, is an ATM machine.

In the past, Love has defended his support for Trump, and once famously posed for a thumbs-up photo with him with the Washington Monument in the background.

It’s a free country so anyone should be able to support who they want! The only reason those in entertainment support the Democrats is because they fear losing work. Those celebrities are cowards!

Lol. What a pathetic thing to lie about. They can't even book any entertainment that's worthwhile. What does that tell you?

Too bad, Brian ...Al.

just enjoy the music PEOPLE! man far out, I was at Woodstock there was this cat that supported the WE COME IN SPACE SHIPS BUT IN PEACE PARTY, I thought far out im not digging it, he then puts something in my drink then I actually went for a ride with them to Alpha centauri

Trump has the worst jobs performance of any president in history... He is no American. TrumpSoldOutAmerica TrumpCorruption TrumpFailedAmerica TrumpIsBroke DonTheCon LockHimUp

I'm so glad. I was sad thinking I'd have to boycott The Beach Boys.

One more reason to strongly dislike mike love.

Brian Wilson is the Beach Boys. So like whatever Mike

Why is Skunk Baxter in this photo?

ShorealoneFilms Mike Love’s Beach Boys are a County Fair band. He’s famously a total jerk, too.

DLthings I sincerely hope the people that want Disneyland to reopen weren't there without masks. We were just starting to trend slightly orange on the tier list and they pull this crap.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yeah right!

Seems like trump draws old white musicians that are well past their best by dates.

Get Trump THE HELL OUT OF OUR STATE!!!

They should sue the campaign

'Some are surprised that Trump would visit as blue a state as CA this close to the election. LAT pointed to the huge potential cash haul the president will reel in from today’s benefit, badly needed as he trails Joe Biden badly in fundraising'

Without those two it’s not The Beach Boys. It’s a cover band.

Thank you, Brian Wilson. Also what the fuck color hair is that on Donald?

Nooooooo...say it isn't so.

'were very surprised to read about it in the Los Angeles Times' 'very surprised' Really? Mike Love's creepy cradle robbing aesthetic and Trump seemed like a perfect match waiting to happen.

Wilson don't know where he is

dude must be so stressed out

Not surprised Mike Love, another perv-looking guy who gives me the creeps, would be a tRUMP fanatic. pedos, pervers and creeps oh my!

Please tell me stamos wasn’t a part of this😱

Trump supporters are like face tattoos. You invested in it and now you have to live with it. If you supported Trump 4 years ago then support him now. Don't jump ship. Go down with the titanic.

Knew Brian was the best one

So stunning. So brave. TrumpDerangementSyndrome

Group with the Wilson brothers and Al, The Beach Boys, they were legendary. Group with Mike Love, The Beach Bums, history will not be kind.

This is like having Pink Floyd without Roger Waters or David Gilmour.

Maybe 45 will show up in a pair of OP board shorts, flip-flops, and a red tie. Orange County ain’t even voting for this OrangeClown. Trump2020

OK, this hodad's done with the Mike and Bruce Show. They're fucked.

Love has always been the rogue Beach Boy. Not nice.

Variety? Weak! Like LATSeema latimes. You KNOW Brian Wilson told Trump+ no. You KNOW Mike Love NOT Beach Boys. 0 honor creep who still pushes Dennis Wilson, his dead cousin, RIP, luckily short Manson connection, so he can get $ & attention. Creep attacks Brian+. 🗽✌🏼👊🏼🌊

As of 2019, the only principal members included in the Beach Boys' touring band are co-founder Mike Love and 1965 addition Bruce Johnston. Brian Wilson and Al Jardine have not performed with The Beach Boys since their one-off 2012 reunion tour.

When Mike Love replaces Brian Wilson with Trump's ass the Beach Boys have fallen. But The Beach Bums have risen. Music

Trump's stupidity is monumental

Nobody's cared about the beach boys for 50+ years

Thank you BrianWilsonLive. As a lifelong Beach Boys fan dating back almost to the beginning, it's sickening to see the band's good name tarnished by association with Trump. Mike Love's band may bear your name for legal reasons, but they are not The Beach Boys to me. Shameful.

Mike Love is trashing memories of The Beach Boys.

So?

Of course he does. It Mike Love’s band

🤣😂😷LOL and LMAO...Orange County Rally for the Orange piece of💩. And it’s NOT The Beach Boys. 🖕🏻Mike Love and 🖕🏻the 🍊💩!

Al also

Fake Beach Boys playing for a fake president.

Mike love is a dick.

sad what happens to some people as they age.

Whatever. MikeLove isn't the Beach Boys, it's just his impression band. PFFFFT! mikel

“Mike Love benefit” is more accurate

So, it’s The Beach Boys, minus the talent.

bronxfanatic Brian Wilson tried to inject his own little girl with heroin. You liberals are impressed by only the best people.

God lord who cares

Sincere question: were they to have headlined a Biden rally, would you all be so triggered? Are we mad that a beloved band (without Wilson, yeah I get it) endorsed a politician in the general sense? Or are we pissed they endorsed a guy we don’t like?

Mike Love is a douche!

Fuck Mike Love ...

I can see why Love would get along with Trump from this article. I was curious why Jeff'skunk' Baxter was in the photo

Really cool that Mike Love is doing a 'Beach Boys' fundraiser for Trump, when everything that ever mattered from the Beach Boys came from Brian Wilson, who wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Those are not the Beach Boys, those are imposters who have stolen the name, nothing more.

You have to stop and think when you see what is trending.

Who the hell is Mike Love🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh wow snd fuck John Stamos too

Thank You Brian Wilson for disavowing the event! I will never have anything to do with Mike Love. beachboys

I saw Mike Love was trending on Twitter and knee-jerk thought he had passed. This is even worse.

Isn't that a fucking Doobie Brother I see?

Didn’t no Brian was still alive. Love is singing. So the traveling Beach Boys are supporting Trump. Wake up California. Your state is disgusting under democratic rule

Mike 'Love' and *Fake Beach Boys* ***Not Worth It***!!!

Good news 4_the_babies! It's not the Beach Boys! 😀

Brian Wilson is the one wearing the White Cowboy hat and on the right side of history.

Good!

GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM. I was wondering what that rancid smell in the air was. Did he come to clean the forest floor? MoveAlongDumbDumbDonny

It's never a good sign when Mike Love is trending.

Mike Love is the Mike Love of the Beach Boys ... 🙄

Good for you, Brian and Al!

So Angus Young is the last living member of AC/DC and yet they don't call it 'his version' of AC/DC.......interesting.

EW!!

Not the real Beach Boys - without BrianWilsonLive they are just the Faux Boys. GOPBetrayedAmerica TrumpLiesAmericansDie VOTE BidenHarris2020

The only original Beach Boy involved is the least talented, most annoying original member, legendary d-bag Mike Love.

JohnStamos You gotta distance yourself from this goon.

Just look at Trump's urine stained hair.

Phew, I was wondering how Brian could possibly have been involved in this! So glad to learn it is not the case. Imagine people paying that much to see a band with its heart and soul missing? I guess it's a perfect metaphor for Trump representing America, if you think about it.

I've been waiting on this!

Mike Love has fallen under Trump's evil spell

It isn’t difficult to see that that is not a real smile on the real Donald Trump. Fake smile.

MarciaBunney Yes!!!! Ok i dont hate one of the beach boys

They’d prob support Chuck Manson over Trump if he were alive 🤣

Just a nobody!.

And I was just about to comment that I was impressed that they finally found a halfway decent band to support them. But I guess not after all. It ain’t the Beachboys without Brian Wilson. Oh well....time to send Biden another donation.

That makes me Smile

when I saw this trending, I thought it was interesting that Brian Wilson was there....nice to know he wasn't!

The smart Beach Boys will not be there!

So much for the 'All American band'. Suck it Wilson

Ah, Brian Wilson

Mike Love is a has been......perhaps a never was......

As always, FCK mike Love! undoubtedly one of the most well deserves hated band members of any group

What is Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter from The Doobie Brothers doing there?! I've lost all respect.

Mike Love has been an epic douche bag since forever. Not surprised.

Mike Love is my old neighbor here in Santa Barbara. He is the worlds biggest prick and STILL owes six different people I know for work the did in and around his compound on the Mesa. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters etc. MikeLove sucks. beachboys 🖕🏽

So disappointed The Beach Boys reputation is sold out to Mike Love. I grew up with them. Watched them as a garage band...WE STILL LOVE YOU BRIAN WILSON!!

Apparently they were the victim of a Little Douche Coup.

Bad vibrations.

KTynot If Brian Wilson & Al Jardine aren't involved Who TF? Hey is that the low-life Mike Love freeloading off Brian Wilson's genius, STILL?

Does this mean we get to cancel JohnStamos ?

Predictable.... he may move out of the country if Trump wins 4 more years. Gasp!

Remind me again who was the producer, primary composer and de facto leader of the Beach Boys? Whose name comes to mind when that group is mentioned? 🤔 Not Mike Love...

Nothing more than a cover band without Brian

Should we really be surprised? He was a piece of shit before and he’s a piece of shit now. He isn’t nor will he ever be as great as Brian Wilson and it will forever kill him deep down.

joenbc

Celebs have to stop with the apologies and justifications. DO WHAT YOU WANT.

OrangeCounty already has to deal with Trump clone Michelle Steel who promotes fake ballot boxes and sold out her constituents at JohnWayne airport. Never LieCheatSteel Vote HarleyForCongress

Who cares. Let’s go Trump 2020!

Trump2020 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 California4trump

Gross.

Mike Love really is the worst member

Will JohnStamos be playing this gig? I seriously hope not!

This one hurts but at least no one ever accused Mike Love of being the musical genius in the group.

Trump’s two-tone hair here reminds me of when I adopted my dog Maisie and her white coat was stained all over with urine.

What a Total SHAME of the Both of YOU !!!
