Casey's expletive-laden rant continued, "You're being duped by a bunch of grifters and billionaires who don't give a shit about you or your family. They care about their fucking tax breaks and the money they can put in their pocket. If you consider yourself a patriot and you're spouting off that election-denying shit, I will fight your ass outside if you want to. Wake the fuck up!"

If you consider yourself a patriot and you’re spouting off that election-denying shit, I will fight your ass outside if you want to.

I honestly mainly posted this because I wanted to say this:

Man, this sucks as a long-time Dropkick Murphy's fan... He's absolutely right about Trump and the right-wing grifters... BUT

Dude, Ken's 54 with a fucking beer gut, he's not fighting anybody without getting laid the fuck out. I'm in my 40's and am in better shape than this guy, and know I would lose a fucking fight. I get that this is kind of how Dropkick Murphy's have always rolled as a punk band... but like dude... you're old...

Ken Casey being in his fifties and trying to act hard and like he could fight somebody is JUST AS PATHETIC as Trump trying to act young and hard and tough in his seventies.

It's just like when I saw Clutch a while back when Neil Fallon was pushing fifty and he was all throughout the show acting like they had all stayed up all night drinking, and how hard partying they were... and like man, that shit just sounds pathetic and like you've got a fucking drinking problem when you're pushing fifty. It's been at least a decade, if not more, since it was "cool" for you to party that hard.

Old people need to grow the fuck up and accept that they are old.

This macho fighter bullshit is part of the fucking problem in this country. Grow up.

Good sir. Since you are a man well into your forties, we'd like to bring to your attention the shocking silliness of your username. It is entirely unfit for a venerable gentleman such as you to engage in booger humour, no matter how undeniably comical.

Furthermore, we would like to seize this opportunity to remind the elders present that video games are entirely too childish for citizens of our decorum. Animes are right out as well. We urge you to engage instead in respectable hobbies such as afternoon TV, yelling at clouds and filing your taxes.

As someone in their earlier forties, I feel a little called out 😅 not sure I can prance for very long 😬 I don't preach the prance, tho.

Singer/bass player Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys recently derided former President Donald Trump and his supporters during a show in Pennsylvania.

Video of Casey's comments from the Thursday performance at the Great Allentown Fair have been shared by users of social media.

They are perhaps best known for the hit single "I'm Shipping Up to Boston," which went platinum and was featured in Martin Scorsese's 2006 Academy Award-winning film The Departed.

The group is also celebrated for putting on highly energetic live performances that have helped them build a fervent fan base.

Casey has criticized Trump before in the past, including telling an interviewer his blood pressure went down after President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.

Recently, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame has been among the most vocal rock stars who have made headlines for denouncing MAGA politicians and their beliefs.
