For the show, Waters’ stage is lined with giant screens, which at one point, display a slideshow of people that Waters has branded as “war criminals”.Biden is shown among the cohort – right after his predecessor, Donald Trump – with a label asserting to concertgoers that the current US President is “just getting started”.Speaking with CNN’s Michael Smerconish (who notes that he’s a fan of Waters’ music, but disagrees with him on some of his political viewpoints), Waters was asked why he considers Biden to be a fit for the inflammatory slideshow.“Well, he’s fuelling the fire in the Ukraine, for a start – that is a huge crime,” the artist answered, rhetorically posing to Smerconish: “Why won’t the United States of America encourage [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, the [Ukrainian] president, to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war that’s killing… We don’t know how many Russians.”Smerconish responds by telling Waters that he’s “got it reversed”, and that the artist is erroneously “blaming the party that got invaded”.
