Los Angeles, Jul 31: American punk rock band Dropkick Murphys delivered a searing political message during their recent performance at the Warped Tour, with frontman Ken Casey launching a scathing verbal attack on US President Donald Trump before performing their track First Class Loser.

Taking the stage with trademark energy, Casey didn't hold back. “This next song is dedicated to a guy who wears orange makeup, sh*ts his pants in his diapers, rapes women, touches kids,” he said, in reference to Trump. The band then launched into the fiery anthem while a massive screen behind them projected images and videos of Trump, including one referencing his controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

One slide highlighted a 2002 New York Magazine quote where Trump called Epstein “terrific” and “a lot of fun to be with,” noting Epstein's interest in younger women. The provocative visuals stirred strong reactions from the crowd.

The lyrics of First Class Loser echoed the sentiment, painting a picture of a toxic personality: “The type of guy you'd cross six lanes of traffic to avoid / He's always got his hand out, he should be unemployed.”

The Boston-based band has long been known for its left-leaning views and working-class ethos. This is not the first time they’ve criticized Trump or his supporters. Earlier this year, at a Boston show, Casey publicly called out a concertgoer for waving an all-black MAGA hat, referring to it as the “true Nazi edition.” He told the audience, “If you want to know who's in a cult, just look for the one holding up the f**king hat.”

Speaking at a Florida concert, Casey reaffirmed the band’s political stance. “We don’t care if we lose fans,” he said. “When history is said and done, we want it known that the Dropkick Murphys stood with the people, we stood with the workers.”

Meanwhile, Trump, in a recent statement, sought to distance himself from Epstein, claiming the financier had “stolen” Mar-a-Lago staff and was later banned from the club. “He’s persona non grata,” Trump said. He also insisted he was never invited to Epstein’s private island, calling that “a moment of good judgment.”

The US Justice Department recently confirmed that no Epstein “client list” exists, despite ongoing public speculation.

Dropkick Murphys’ act has reignited conversations about the intersection of music, politics, and public accountability — and their message was unmistakably clear.
