On Tuesday, in a statement released by the band, Casey set the record straight about allegations that the Dropkick Murphys were banned on X, formerly known as Twitter, after remarks the singer directed to a person carrying a "Make America Great Again" hat at the Boston show.

None of this is new for the band. Since forming in 1996, they’ve rocked Against Bush and told Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, “we literally hate you,” after Walker used “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” at a campaign event. They later allowed President Biden to use the song, giving Biden the biggest pop and one of the best videos of his presidency.

On the sold-out first night of its St. Pat's shows, Dropkick Murphys once again proved that if you can't beat 'em, go down fighting.
