A video of Ken Casey, the lead singer of the Boston-based Celtic punk band the Dropkick Murphys, going off on Trump and his MAGA supporters during a concert in 2022 recently went viral again on St. Patrick's Day.

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, a resurfaced video shows Ken Casey, the lead singer of the Boston-based Celtic punk band the Dropkick Murphys, criticizing fans who support former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement during a Pennsylvania concert, saying those who have fallen for the "swindler" former President are "part of the problem" in the United States.

At the time, Casey urged the concert's attendees to reject Trump's brand of reactionary politics and condemned those who are "being duped" by a man who faces 91 federal state and federal charges across four separate indictments.


He said:

“If you’re out there buying those f**king hats that these swindlers are selling at their f**king fair…then you’re part of the problem."
"You're being duped by a bunch of grifters and billionaires who don't give a sh*t about you or your family. They care about their f**king tax breaks and the money they can put in their pocket."
"If you consider yourself a patriot and you're spouting off that election-denying sh*t, I will fight your ass outside if you want to. Wake the f**k up!"
"We're working class people. These people are the rich, the billionaires, and they don't give a sh*t."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

Many still concur with Casey's message two years later.




Casey has long supported Democrats, done advocacy work, and spoken out against the far-right.

In 2016, he and the Dropkick Murphys sent a cease-and-desist letter to a Neo-Nazi group earlier this year after the group used the band's song “The Boys Are Back” in a promotional video.

At the time, Casey said he would personally fight them if they didn't stop using the song, threatening to "SMASH" the group.

The band previously received the Robert F. Kennedy Children's Action Corps' Embracing the Legacy Award for years of charity work with various organizations including work with children and military veterans.
