In a recent tweet, Sebastian Bach criticized Donald Trump’s words about his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The singer shared a video of Trump’s speech at a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists conference this past week and wrote:
“If you yourself could watch this and say I’m gonna vote for this, you should flush your own head down the toilet.”
What Did Trump Say?
Trump wrongly claimed that Harris suddenly became Black a few years ago. He made this comment when asked if he agreed with Republicans who call Harris a ‘DEI hire.’ Trump questioned Harris’ background in his response, saying:
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”
Trump continued:
“I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went – she became a Black person I think somebody should look into that too.”
Later, in Houston at a Sigma Gamma Rho sorority event, Harris called Trump’s comments ‘the same old show’ of division and disrespect:
“Let me just say, the American people deserve better.”
Bach’s Earlier Comments On Trump
Bach often criticizes Trump’s policies on Twitter. In July 2020, he told Esquire he missed having ‘smart’ people in the White House:
“I can’t watch footage of JFK from 1962. I can’t even watch that shit because I’ll cry. Because motherfucker is so cool and so smart and hates racism. And then we have this fucking jackass. And it’s just not fair to the country. I put Barack Obama in the same category. When I watch him speak, it rips my heart out because he makes you feel safe.”
Bach also tweeted in July 2020 that supporting Trump means going against rock music and musicians who lost jobs because Trump doesn’t believe in science.
