During their set at the Vans Warped Tour, Dropkick Murphys, a popular punk band known for their loud politics and working class roots, played “First Class Loser” while a screen behind them showed footage of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein.

As the video played, Trump’s own voice echoed through the speakers with one of his old quotes:

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do — and many of them are on the younger side.”

Dropkick Murphys have never been quiet about Trump. They’ve pulled out of shows linked to Republican donors. They’ve clashed with fans over MAGA hats. And they’ve said what they believe, right into the mic.

At one show in Boston, frontman Ken Casey said:
“If you’re in a room full of people and you want to know who’s in a cult, how do you know who’s in a cult? They’ve been holding up a fucking hat the whole night to represent a president.”

They’ve made it part of who they are.

In 2022, Casey spoke to Rolling Stone after playing a fair in Pennsylvania.
“I felt like we were playing a MAGA flea market… Every other table was selling the MAGA gear and the ‘Fuck Joe Biden’ gear and all this stuff. I was a little overwhelmed and befuddled. It was like I was dropped into another planet.”

They dropped the footage during ‘First Class Loser,’ a song aimed at bullies and phonies who think they’re above everyone else

And Dropkick Murphys are not the only ones calling out Trump.

Bruce Springsteen backed his opponent in the last election. Neil Young also wrote:
“Stop thinking about what rockers are saying. Think about saving America from the mess you made. Taylor Swift is right. So is Bruce.”

Dropkick Murphys have always said they won’t stay quiet. In a Florida concert earlier this year, Casey told the crowd:
“The reason we speak out, we don’t care if we lose fans, because when history is said and done, we want it known that the Dropkick Murphys stood with the people.”
