Village People, the American disco group whose hits like "Y.M.C.A" have been staples at Trump rallies, defended their decision to perform during Trump's inauguration.

"Y.M.C.A." is known to be a favorite of Donald Trump's, and its singer plans to be on hand for the president-elect's swearing in.

"Y.M.C.A." has often been labeled as a gay anthem, but it's now a MAGA-rally hit. As Village People play at Trump's inaugural events, here's how they fit into Trump's narrative.
