Cash’s daughter hits out at neo-nazi in t-shirt

The daughter of country music legend Johnny Cash has hit out at a “neo-nazi” who wore a fan t-shirt at the white supremacist march in Charlottesville.

Rosanne Cash said the whole family were “sickened” by the association of their father with the extremists, whose recent protest in Virginia led to a violent brawl that made global headlines.

In a scathing Facebook statement, she wrote: “We were alerted to a video of a young man in Charlottesville, a selfproclaimed neo-nazi, spewing hatred and bile.

“He was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the name of Johnny Cash, our father. We were sickened by the association. Johnny Cash was a man 0 Roseanne Cash ‘sickened’ by use of her father’s image whose heart beat with the rhythm of love and social justice.

“He received humanitarian awards from, among others, the Jewish National Fund, B’nai Brith, and the United Nations.”

The 62-year-old musician lost her father almost 14 years ago.
