Mormons are urging a choir who are set to sing at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration to refuse to perform at the event with one of the singers even resigning in protest.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir are one of a few acts to confirm they will sing at Trump’s swearing-in ceremony later next month.
The group has already performed at the inaugurations of George Bush, George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and added they were honoured to be picked to perform.
But now it has emerged, a petition has been set up by fellow Mormons requesting that the choir do not perform at the ceremony and with one choir member even resigning.
It comes after Trump had trouble during the Republican primary campaign winning over Mormon voters, who voiced skepticism about his candidacy.
