Former frontman Sebastian Bach of American heavy metal band Skid Row has taken to Twitter to comment that anyone casting their vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election is a “fucking idiot.”
With the 2020 U.S. Presidential race winding down to two opponents, both current President Donald Trump, and former Vice President Joe Biden, many artists are taking to shouting their support, and some are bashing the candidates they oppose.
We’ve seen System Of A Down remain very vocal during Donald Trump’s presidency, as well as the frontman of The Strokes state that he plans to vote for Joe Biden as Bernie Sanders announced the suspension of his campaign.
Now, another musician has taken to social media to state what they think about politics. The former Skid Row singer, as well as founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, & Nash took to Twitter stating just what he thinks about those who throw their support to Donald Trump.
Following a report Tweeted by legendary rocker David Crosby that an apparent 30 New Yorkers have ingested household cleaners after the President took to suggesting disinfectants as a possible way to fight COVID-19, Bach responded that anyone still “voting for Donald Trump” is a “complete, fucking idiot.”
Almost half the country is embracing ignorance and racism as a life philosophy…they don’t read …they don’t value education at all …they claim to be religious but don’t act like Christians at all …they are basically quite stupid …and don’t know it https://t.co/2QgrIyQFhj

Voting for Donald Trump makes you the complete fuking idiot.
— Sebastian Bach (@sebastianbach) April 26, 2020
In the thread of tweets, one Twitter user takes to asking Crosby if Americans are “uneducated”, where he responds by saying, “almost half the country is embracing ignorance and racism as a life philosophy…they don’t read…they don’t value education at all…they claim to be religious but don’t act like Christians at all…they are basically quite stupid…and don’t know it”.
This isn’t the first time that Bach has taken a stance against Trump and his policies. Only one month prior, the multi-talent stated that he “would do a better job” at running the United States than the current president.
Similarly, back in 2018, the former Skid Row vocalist stated in an interview with The Record that he had voted for Hilary Clinton as he couldn’t “understand how anybody would accept a reality-show host as president instead of a politician.”
“It’s insanity,” he stated. “It’s like starting a band and your first show is at Toronto SkyDome. You gotta build up to it.”
