Dropkick Murphys Dub Trump ‘First Class Loser’ at Warped Tour Performance

## The Dropkick Murphys Make a Statement at Warped Tour

The Dropkick Murphys brought their raw punk energy to the recent Warped Tour in Long Beach, California. Frontman Ken Casey made waves by dedicating their powerful track “First Class Loser” to President Donald Trump. During the performance, a striking visual backdrop featured various videos and images of Trump, including some that pointed out his controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

### Ken Casey’s Bold Words

“This next song is dedicated to a guy who wears orange makeup, shits his pants in his diapers, rapes women, touches kids,” Casey stated as they launched into the song. Accompanying the performance was a notable screenshot from a 2002 New York Magazine article where Trump described Epstein as “a terrific guy” who enjoys the company of “beautiful women,” many of whom he suggested were younger.

### The Lyrics Resonate

Casey’s lyrics hit close to home as he sang, “Have you ever had a family or a friend that drove you crazy? / A foe or a neighbor who’s obnoxious, rude or lazy?” This relatable commentary on frustrating individuals resonated with the crowd, emphasizing the sentiments wrapped in anger and humor.

### Previous Controversies

Earlier this year, the band called out a fan at their concert in Boston who waved an all-black MAGA hat, which Casey labeled the “true Nazi edition.” He challenged the audience, asking, “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?” His words pointed out the absurdity of idolizing political figures.

### A Commitment to Values

During another performance in Florida, Casey reaffirmed their mission, stating that the band prioritizes standing with the working class over losing fans. “When history is said and done, we want it known that the Dropkick Murphys stood with the people,” he emphasized.
