Dropkick Murphys called Donald Trump a 'First Class Loser.' Will they do that in Indiana?

The Dropkick Murphys have never been shy in their criticism of President Donald Trump, which is something Hoosiers might experience firsthand when the band takes the stage Tuesday in Indianapolis. The Massachusetts-based punk rock group played an unflattering video of Trump during a rendition of 'First Class Loser' at their July 27 Warped Tour performance in Long Beach, California. The video included footage Trump palling around with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It's unknown whether the band will do the same again Tuesday in Indianapolis. Here's what happened. 'This next song is dedicated to a guy who wears orange makeup, (defecates) his pants in his diapers, rapes women, touches kids,' said Dropkick Murphys vocalist Ken Casey. 'It's called 'First Class Loser.'' Trump was found liable for sexual abuse in a 2023 civil court case against E. Jean Carroll, a lauded writer and a former graduate of Indiana University. Check out a video of the song below, but mind the language. Story continues after photo gallery. Casey has been vocal in his criticism about Trump and his supporters in recent months. The frontman delivered a pointed critique of MAGA hats during the band's show March 15 at MGM Music Hall in Boston. 'Silence is complicit at this point,' Casey said during an interview with Boston radio station WBUR. 'So to be making fluff music about stuff that isn't of importance at the moment, I really just think is shirking away from the fight.' The Dropkick Murphys, natives of Quincy, Massachusetts, recently released the album 'For the People,' which includes the anti-authoritarian anthem 'Who'll Stand with Us?' (Warning: The following video contains strong language.) The group plays at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5, with Bad Religion at Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park. Tickets to watch the Dropkick Murphys perform in Indianapolis run $40 to upwards of $157 and are available at Find Dropkick Murphys tickets on TicketMaster The show is part of the band's Summer of Discontent tour. After Indianapolis, they perform Aug. 6 in Buffalo, New York. Chris Jordan, a Jersey Shore native, covers entertainment and features for the USA Today Network New Jersey. Contact him at cjordan@
