The song, now considered a protest anthem, is about a social revolution in which French proletarians stand against the ruling class — in this case, an oppressive monarchy. The lyrics include, "Do you hear the people sing? / Singing the song of angry men?/ It is the music of the people / Who will not be slaves again!"
Some quickly interpreted the song choice to be a slight at the Trump administration, particularly after he declared himself "the king" in a social media post depicting a fictionalized Time magazine cover earlier that week.
Democratic Rep. James P. McGovern from Massachusetts responded to the post and pointed out the irony: "They picked Les Mis—a musical about standing up to tyranny. They protested you at your own event and you were too stupid to get it."
