‘I don't want you there': Rock band's frontman bans Trump voters from shows
Ronnie Winter does not want Donald Trump supporters coming to his band's shows.
The frontman of The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus said in an Instagram video posted Saturday, June 14 that "if you are a Christian and you're watching this and you voted for Donald Trump," then 'you are not allowed to come to my shows.'
'I don't want you there. It's awesome that you love 'Face Down.' Its not for you. It's not your song,' Winter said, referring to the band's most popular song.
'If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows forever, not just like these four years. Don't come to my shows because you are going to hear a lot of woke propaganda, and you are going to hear the actual words of Jesus,' the singer continued. 'You are going to see a lot of words of acceptance from all areas of life and races. You are just going to see a lot of harmony, OK. That's not what you are about. Don't come. Refunds are available. Forever don't come.'

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus formed in 2003 in Middleburg, Florida. The emo-pop band is best known for its 2006 major-label debut, 'Don't Fake It.'
The platinum-certified project peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 and contained the smash hit 'Face Down.' The single peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified five-times platinum by the RIAA.
The band has released four more albums — 'Lonely Road' (2006), 'AM I the Enemy' (2011), '4″ (2014) and 'The Awakening' (2018) — but none have matched the success of their debut.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is currently on tour, with upcoming shows scheduled through November. The band will perform at Crystal Ballroom in Somerville on Aug. 24.
