Green Day’s frontman chanted “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” on stage at the American Music Awards on Sunday.
Billie Joe Armstrong was quoting “Born To Die,” a 1982 single from the punk band MDC, who recently amended the song from its original lyric “No war, no KKK, no fascist USA,” according to The Guardian.
In an interview with Kerrang! magazine in August, Armstrong compared Trump to Adolf Hitler.
“The worst problem I see about Trump is who his followers are,” he told the magazine. “I actually feel bad for them, because they’re poor, working-class people who can’t get a leg up. They’re pissed off and he’s preyed on their anger.”
“He just said, ‘You have no options and I’m the only one, and I’m going to take care of it myself,’” he continued. “I mean, that’s fucking Hitler, man!”
