Some of the best moments from recent CMA Awards found hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood taking digs at politicians or the American political system. They targeted both sides of the aisle with jokes and parody songs over 10 years. Paisley says politics are off limits for him. "I'm not gonna touch that. I just don't find politics funny anymore," he says. And let's talk about things that everybody can agree are funny." "I want everyone to feel welcome and inclusive and we're not out to offend anyone," the 2010 CMA Entertainer of the Year says. He did say that he's not afraid to get political in other ways, in a manner similar to how he's done before. It can be, but I also think that sometimes it's music's job to get you away from some of these things." Greatest CMA Moment of All Time?

The message was that the issue involving migrant children shouldn’t be about politics; therefore, it should solely be about the children. “Go see a four-year-old child sitting at a table, drawing a picture of a turtle, wondering where his mom is,” Representative Dan Kildee said. Four politicians toured the Bethany Christian Services building Thursday, where dozens of children who were separated from their parents at the border, are being cared for. "Obviously, we're not going to agree on everything,” Kildee said. “But we all agree these children ought to be reunited." Michigan Congressmen Dan Kildee was joined by Congressman Bill Huizenga and Debbie Dingell. The Michigan lawmakers were also joined by Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan. "I want to make sure the border integrity that we need to have is part of that solution,” he added. It was to put politics aside and do right by these children. "We all care about our kids,” Dingell said.
