The 2018 Grammy Awards on Sunday night only got political during a few moments, but there’s one you might have missed.
During U2’s emotional performance of “Get Out Of Your Own Way” in front of the Statue of Liberty Sunday night (though it was taped earlier), Bono said, “Blessed are the shithole countries, for they gave us the American dream,” in a reference to Donald Trump’s apparent use of the offensive phrase. You can hear it around the 3:32 mark in the video above.
CBS’ broadcast bleeped the comment out, but other outlets have played the uncensored version.
