Hayley Williams, the lead vocalist of the decreasingly popular rock band Paramore, paused a performance on Friday at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas to voice false claims about President Donald J.

Williams, however, was caught on camera reading from a script being held up by someone in the front row as she delivered her screed of anti-Trump misinformation to a camera positioned just to the left of the script.
In the scripted remarks, Williams accused Trump of intending to harm women, people of color, and LGBTQ Americans without offering any evidence for her remarks.
