The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus emerged in the early 2000s on the back of their major-label debut, “Don’t You Fake It.” The record would go on to sell more than a million copies on and spawned hit singles “Face Down,” “False Pretense” and “Guardian Angel,” and the band has steadily released albums and toured in the years since.
Recently, singer Ronnie Winter took to social media to call out supporters of President Donald Trump saying he doesn’t want them in attendance at their shows.
“Look, man, the thing about being woke is you’re awake,” he said via video on Instagram. “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.”
He continued: “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. It is not your song.”
“If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows or ever, not just these four years. 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. 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 harmony. That’s not what you’re about. Don’t come. Refunds are available. Forever, don’t come. Goodbye.”
