U2 ended its politically charged performance in front of the Statue of Liberty during Sunday night's Grammy Awards with a shoutout to "shithole countries," a reference to a controversial comment reportedly made by President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden leads Trump by 36 points nationally among Latinos: poll Trump dismisses climate change role in fires, says Newsom needs to manage forest better Jimmy Kimmel hits Trump for rallies while hosting Emmy Awards MORE.

"Blessed are the shithole countries," frontman Bono yelled into a megaphone in a moment that was reportedly censored during some broadcasts.

The statement was a riff on a remark allegedly made by Trump in reference to Haiti, El Salvador and some African nations.

The moment capped off an immigration-focused performance of their song “Get Out of Your Own Way,” part of a pretaped segment at Sunday’s 60th annual awards ceremony in New York.

Reciting the lyrics to the song, Bono sang:

“Fight back/ Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back/ The face of liberty's starting to crack/ She had a plan up until she got smacked in the mouth.”

As she introduced U2’s performance, singer Camila Cabello said it was aimed at “celebrating New York City and the promise that has drawn generations of immigrants here from around the world.”

“Tonight, in this room full of music’s dreamers, we remember that this country was built by dreamers, for dreamers, chasing the American dream,” Cabello told the audience, using a term frequently used to refer to recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“I’m here on this stage tonight because just like the Dreamers, my parents brought me to this country with nothing in their pockets but hope. They showed me what it means to work twice as hard and never give up,” the 20-year-old Havana-born singer said.

“And all I know is, just like dreams, these kids can’t be forgotten and are worth fighting for,” Cabello added, before introducing U2.

Bono, a frequent presence on Capitol Hill, has been a constant critic of Trump, and spoke out last September about his decision to end DACA, which protects certain immigrants from deportation. About 690,000 immigrants who came to the country illegally as children depend on the program to live and work in the United States.

“I mean, we’re Irish! We’re the dreamers,” Bono, 57, said during an appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” last year. “This country was built for and by dreamers,” he added. “If there’s no room for Dreamers, where are we in America? Where are we? It’s the American dream.”
