Fox News "Founded more than a decade ago, the "Spring-Nuts" Facebook group dedicated to The Boss noticed its 18,000 members were no longer focused on his music as they battled against "hateful" online discourse due to Springsteen's public stances and recent endorsement of Michigan's senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed.
"As the world grew increasingly divisive, hostile, those tensions inevitably spilled into our little corner of the E Street world," founders Julie and Howie Chaz said in a statement posted on Sunday, Nov. 8, according to Asbury Park Press." . . .
Springsteen's November endorsement of El-Sayed as "a fighter for our American Constitution" was the final straw for admins." . . .

"Mr. Sayed campaigned with Hasan Piker who openly made horrific statements that America deserved 9/11," Howie said.
"After a Michigan synagogue was attacked back in March, obviously an act of terrorism, Sayed rationalized it by saying 'Hurt people hurt people' standing right next to the antisemitic streamer Hasan Piker who made the despicable 9/11 statement."
His endorsement was "deeply disappointing to us, given our concerns as proud Jews," Julie and Howie said."
