Barbra Streisands 1979 hit Enough Is Enough has been used in a super PAC-sponsored music video that blasts Donald Trump for the presidents record on failing the LGBTQ+ community.

The video is a collaboration between the progressive PAC MeidasTouch and voting awareness group Vote Proud , which was co-founded by Bruce Roberts, the original lyricist and composer of Enough Is Enough. The video was released on Tuesday and highlights a variety of clips from the last four years, including Trump denying visas for the same-sex partners of diplomats in 2018, Trump proposing a rule allowing faith-based groups to exclude LGBTQ+ people as foster or adoptive parents in 2019 and Andy Cohen exposing restrictions on gay men donating blood for COVID-19 patients in April.

Enough Is Enough plays repeatedly as the video arcs to its conclusion, ending with a message from Streisand herself.

Vote proud, said the 78-year-old hitmaker, long an ally of the LGBTQ+ community .
