The medley included the rap "We the People" with a chorus that said: "All you black folks, you must go, all you Mexicans, you must go, and all you poor folks, you must go, Muslims and gays, boy, we hate your ways, so all you bad folks, you must go."

 

Rhymes during the performance, said: "I want to thank President Agent Orange for your unsuccessful attempt at the Muslim ban."

The performance featured women sporting the hijab.
