Democrats ‘threw it away,’ Roger Daltrey says of U.S. presidential election

LONDON – Roger Daltrey said “a dead dog” would have beaten Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential election.

The Who’s legendary front man told the British music news website NME that President Donald Trump “really didn’t win” the election because Democrats “threw it away.”

The British singer also was speaking in favor of his country’s move to leave the European Union. He said when the dust settles from the Brexit move, “I think that it’ll be seen that it’s the right thing for this country to have done.”

Daltrey’s comments followed those of British-born punk legend Johnny Rotten, who told “Good Morning Britain” earlier this week that he supported the Brexit vote. The former Sex Pistols singer said the working class has spoken and he’s “one of them and … with them.”
