Rock Singer Declares: ‘If You Voted for Trump, Do Not Come To My Shows’

Ronnie Winter, lead singer for the band Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, warned followers that he doesn’t want any Trump supporters attending the band’s concerts.

The alt-rock singer posted his views in an Instagram video, insisting that anyone who supports President Trump wouldn’t appreciate the “actual words of Jesus” and “acceptance” they’d experience at a show.

“Just doing a quick little PSA. I thought I was pretty clear about all this stuff in 2020,” Winter says in the opening of the video. “As you notice on my Instagram, I did not remove any of that stuff from the Stay Woke campaign, I guess you guys are calling it, from 2020. Look, man, the thing about being woke is: you’re awake, and once you’re awake, you can never go to sleep. And not only has nothing changed but everything they said was going to happen, the woke people, has happened. You have done nothing but prove them right.”

His rant continues with professions of faith and how he believes Christianity conflicts with following Trump.

“So, here it is again, in case somehow you missed it: Hi, I’m Ronnie Winter. I sing for the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and I actually follow what Jesus says. If you’re a Christian and you’re watching this and you voted for Donald Trump, shame on you. You are not allowed to come to my shows. I don’t want you there. Don’t come to my shows. It’s awesome that you love ‘Face Down’; it’s not for you. It’s not your song, OK? It is not your song.”

“If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows, ever, not just like these four years,” Winter declares. 

He goes on, “Don’t come to my shows because you’re going to hear a lot of woke propaganda, and you’re going to hear the actual words of Jesus, and you’re going to see a lot of acceptance from all areas of life and races, and you’re just going to see a lot of, like, harmony. OK? That’s not what you’re about, OK? Don’t come. Refunds are available. Forever, don’t come. Goodbye.”

Clips of the video started circulating on social media, with many people questioning the relevance of the band, whose best known song “Face Down” debuted in 2006.

“Who?” one commenter asked.

“Bold move from a band most people forgot existed,” another said.

“Forgot? I never heard of them, never,” a third commenter echoed.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus formed in Middleburg, Florida, in 2003. Besides “Face Down,” they haven’t had any major mainstream hits.
