Trump-loving musician fumes about Spanish speakers - then abruptly leaves his own Texas concert

A musician known for his love of Donald Trump stormed off stage over the weekend after getting angry about Spanish-speaking fans.

McAllen, Texas’ Monitor news site reported that Aaron Lewis was trying to quiet the crowd during a solo acoustic set on Saturday when someone suggested he ask the crowd at the US-Mexico border town to do so in Spanish.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know how to speak Spanish,” Lewis responded. “I’m American.”

Video from the event shows the former Staind frontman-turned-country-singer strumming and motioning for the crowd to quiet down before checking his watch and bidding the audience goodnight.

Singer Aaron Lewis cuts show short, says he doesn’t speak Spanish because he’s American
By admin - February 4, 201906

Singer Aaron Lewis irked his already-rowdy audience on Saturday when he implied that Spanish speakers are un-American, then walked off the stage and ended his concert early.

The 46-year-old former Staind frontman grew visibly irritated when the crowd at his Pharr, Texas, show wouldn’t stop talking.

Video footage obtained by TMZ shows a smoking Lewis scolding the fans who’d paid to see him, telling them, “I’m only going to wait for so long and then I’m just going to say goodnight.”

. . .

A fan then asked Lewis to sing something in Spanish, to which he replied, “I’m sorry, I don’t know how to speak Spanish. I’m an American.”

Only a P.O.S. who can "drank", smoke while singing, torture innocent animals in their homes, wear his NRA hat, and flip people off is smart enough to vote for the Orange Hump.

In hundreds of rock n roll shows in my lifetime I don't think I've ever been to one where the band had to plead with the audience to be quiet.

We don't speak Spanish in Tejas, or Colorado, or California, or Florida, Nevada, or New Mexico for that matter.

Why would you ever be proud of only speaking ONE language and not understanding others?
