    THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS Frontman Ronnie Winter Declares: “If You Voted for Trump, You Are Not Welcome at My Shows”

    Ronnie Winter, vocalist/keyboardist for The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, made headlines this weekend after publicly reaffirming his opposition to fans who supported Donald J. Trump in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. In a video statement posted to both his personal and the band’s official Instagram accounts on June 14th, Winter directly addressed Christian Trump voters — and told them they are not welcome at the band’s shows.

    “What’s up? Ronnie from Red Jumpsuit here. Just doing a quick little PSA. I thought I was pretty clear about all this stuff in 2020. As you notice on my Instagram wall, I did not remove any of that stuff from the Stay Woke campaign, I guess you guys are calling it, from 2020.

    Look man, the thing about being woke is you’re awake. 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.

    So here it is again, in case somehow you missed it. 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.”

    The video, which references the band’s Stay Woke campaign from 2020, sparked immediate reaction online — with fans, critics, and casual followers weighing in across both supportive and critical lines. As political tensions continue to shape the cultural conversation in the United States, Winter‘s firm stance places The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus among the growing number of artists taking explicit positions on sociopolitical issues.

          Drew Carvalho hey, at least Taylor Swift is against the crybaby in the White House.

          Yes, but both those characters are very active in right wing circles. They’ve been to the White House.

          Drew Carvalho well, I sure hope you’re happy supporting a convicted felon who started an insurrection and pardoned cop killers. And I hope you aren’t a farmer or someone with preexisting conditions because those folks are screwed even though they voted for him.

          Are you proud of how Trump and his supporters cried and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election?

          Conrad Monson insurrection lmao you realize the videos are out that exposed it wasn’t what the fake media portrayed it to be.Yall are up in arms about the deportations yet no one mentions the 2 presidents responsible for the most deportations were democrats….bill Clinton is #2 and OBAMA is #1 with over double the amount Trump is responsible for. I’m ecstatic you guys thought kamala would win but was soundly put in her place. I’m glad trans BS is no longer being pushed and I’m glad illegals are being sent back.

          Drew Carvalho no. That’s just not true. If you were around then, use your memory. Before the senators realized their political careers would be over if Trump was convicted, they were criticizing him. They feared for their lives. ALL OF THEM.

          Correct. More people were deported under Biden and others than Trump. And yet Trump tricked you all into thinking he was the best candidate for border security. It’s the same reason meme coins, sneakers, and NFTs sell so well: you’re gullible.

          Wow. So you’re kind of an asshole then, huh? I can see why you like having an angry, misogynistic man child as president.

          Conrad Monson wouldn’t need to deport if Biden didn’t let em all in with benefits poor Americans can’t even access. If living in reality is being an asshole then yes….there’s only 2 genders we learned this in biology everyones tired of the cosplay ….Trans woman are just men. Illegals choose to be here without doing it correctly I know plenty of people who have become legal citizens. I’m thankful everyday for a president that isn’t aligned with the deranged left policies. Thank God kamala lost

        Jeff Lineberger is it really discrimination when you are discriminating against people who discriminate?

        I think that’s just called FAFO, Jeffrey

          Craig Schimetz if you feel like you are being stereotyped by me saying “people who discriminate”, then I think you have a problem, Craig.

          Daniel Ayersman did I challenge or threaten you in some fashion? If not, maybe use the right insults so you sound less like a tool. Might change your life and you’ll stop being an embarrassment to your parents.

          Aaron Fultz that would only qualify if I challenge or threaten you since I didn’t do any of that, it doesn’t fit. Then again I’m not that surprised you’re not able to come up with anything relevant. You’ve never been the brightest bulb in the bunch. Run along now. Your boyfriend doesn’t need your help.

          Daniel Ayersman you get what you give. If you wanted a respectful conversation, you should have led with that. You honestly believe you can tell me to have some respect when you called me stupid right out of the gate. Try practicing what you’re preach.

          Daniel Ayersman I have no respect for people who are spouting off what you’re saying in the environment we’re in. I’ve given people like yourself twelve years and at this point, I’m done. If you’re spouting Fox News bullshit, you get no respect. None

          Ryan Anthony Ellis both of them suck. Both of them would have screwed us over. But Christians typically vote red. So the alternative if he doesn’t like the way his fellow Christians voted isn’t any better lmao.

      Sad I really love Red Jumpsuit Apparatus but the thing is these liberals preach love,acceptance and tolerance but only for what they believe if you don’t agree with them them then it’s the opposite such hypocrisy of I have a band I wouldn’t care what you believe as long as you are nice and treat everyone with respect at the concert you would be more than welcome these liberals are absolutely unhinged

      Clearly this is a desperate cry out for attention from a talentless nobody. It’s abundantly clear that this ostensibly confused, abject moron lacks any remote understanding for anything taking place in the world all around him today. Don’t know who you are, don’t know anyone who does, wasn’t coming to your show, would never come to your show, not one bit interested in listening to any small minded deranged idiot drone on about his complete misunderstanding of Wokism. Don’t quit your real job you absolutely ridiculous, mindless, religious farce. I hope all sound minded people get their $3 back from this go nowhere ass clown 🤡.
