“If you happen to’re in a room full of individuals and also you wish to know who’s in a cult…They been holding up a fucking hat the entire night time to characterize a president,” he stated from the stage. “That is America! There’s no kings right here!”

Now, Casey has addressed the interplay on the MeidasTouch podcast, stressing that it was not his intention to “berate” his followers. “I’m actually not seeking to cease the present and switch it right into a political rally,” he stated. “However I do need to name out the hypocrisy once I see it, particularly if it’s being put in my face.”
In the identical interview, Casey turns his weapons on Donald Trump’s shut ally Elon Musk. “He actually looks like a villain from a film blended with a man that’s like mid-nervous breakdown, and Donald Trump’s only a clown,” he stated. He went on to say that he believes Trump is a “Russian asset”.
At one other current present in Clearwater, Florida, Casey had one other trade with a Trump supporter. The fan was sporting a MAGA t-shirt and Casey guess him that it was manufactured outdoors the US.
“If you happen to lose the guess, we change shirts, OK? If you happen to win the guess, I offer you $100 and the shirt,” Casey advised the viewers member. A stagehand checked the shirt’s label and the fan shouted: “Nicaragua!”
Dropkick Murphys just lately performed a run of UK reveals in February. Their most up-to-date studio album was ’Okemah Rising’ in 2023.
