Katy Perry Can 'Go To Hell,' Says Ex-Navy SEAL From Greenwich
The military author pulled no punches when criticizing the "Roar" singer in an interview on the Fox News Channel for her call for "unity."
GREENWICH, CT — It's safe to say that Greenwich resident and ex-Navy SEAL Carl Higbie is not a fan of pop singer Katy Perry.
In an interview on the Fox News Channel Thursday, the pro-military author said Perry's recent call for unity, following the deadly Manchester Arena suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert, was essentially ridiculous considering the threat that ISIS poses, reports the Connecticut Post.
"Go to hell, Katy Perry," he said. "Hold one of your concerts in Syria and see how that goes."

Perry had called for love and unity during a radio interview on the "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show." And also sent out these and other posts on Twitter:
Broken hearted for the families tonight. Broken hearted for Ari. Broken hearted for the state of this world.

Higbie staunchly believes that now is not the time for political correctness when fighting against ISIS, and has called for Muslim registry among other conservative policies.
