She says she’d be “endorsing tyranny” by singing for Trump.

The choir’s acceptance of an invitation to sing at the event has divided Mormons, who largely backed Trump in the election despite their uneasiness with the Republican candidate during the campaign.

But Janet Chamberlin, a member of the 360-person choir, has chosen to quit after spending “several sleepless nights and days in turmoil and agony” as she prayed and reflected on her choice, reported the Salt Lake City Tribune.

“I’ve tried to tell myself that by not going to the inauguration, that I would be able to stay in Choir for all the other good reasons,” Chamberlin wrote in her resignation letter, which she later shared on Facebook.

“I have highly valued the mission of the Choir to be good-will ambassadors for Christ, to share beautiful music and to give hope, inspiration, and comfort to others,” she continued. “I’ve tried to tell myself that it will be alright and that I can continue in good conscience before God and man. But it’s no use. I simply cannot continue with the recent turn of events. I could never look myself in the mirror again with self respect.”

    Mormons voted for Con Don with ease. But “endorsing tyranny” by singing for Trump… That’d be like voting for and enabling Genius W. Bush Jr, and headless horsemen of the apocalypse Darth Cheney.

    This is the theme the tabernacle should present at Donnies inaguration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIrvSJwwJUE

      Trump’s Acceptance Speech : ” Okay. I’m President. Let’s Party. Off to the bedroom with all you young Interns.”

          But if He was an Old Time Mormon, he wouldn’t have to mess with those divorces. LOL

    Hurray for Her. She has backbone as well as a voice.

    For all you whiners who cry over baking cakes for same sex marriages, take a lesson here, this is how standing up for your principles is done!

    I completely support the singer’s decision and I would have done the same.

    There’s still a few Christians who are …Christian.
