“God Bless the U.S.A.” singer Lee Greenwood said his friend and fellow inauguration performer Carrie Underwood will “do a great job” on Monday despite the hate she’s been receiving.

After Carrie Underwood received mixed reactions for agreeing to perform at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, Lee Greenwood is coming to the country star's defense.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly swore in country music singer Lee Greenwood as an honorary deputy on Thursday before Greenwood’s performance at the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center in Palm Coast.
