Sounds like he's throwing his band mates under the bus.
It is. It'll be weird if the song becomes an anthem for fascists.
It's ironic that the band member that supports Trump is the one dressed as a cop.
Damn—Silly me! Here I thought the Presidential campaign was over, the votes were counted and a winner declared, so trump has nothing to campaign for anymore …

@persagen well damn, they better sue the Private Christian school I went to, that's where I learned that song was very gay.
