The singer labeled the unauthorized use of his Leonard Cohen cover as 'the height of blasphemy' and expressed his support for Kamala Harris.

Rufus Wainwright expressed outrage after his cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' was played at a Trump town hall event in Pennsylvania.

The Cohen estate has issued a cease-and-desist letter to the Trump campaign, demanding they stop using the song.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of artists objecting to Trump's use of their music without permission.
Wainwright publicly supports Kamala Harris and criticized Trump for his actions and policies.
