Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band Member Steven Van Zandt Says He Meant to Say ‘Exterminate’ Conservatives ‘At the Ballot Box’
Breitbart ^ | 04/11/2023 | David NG

Posted on 04/11/2023 12:40:57 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

After calling for and then deleting his demand for the left to “exterminate” conservative “cockroaches,” Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt is still walking back his incendiary comment, claiming he meant to say “exterminate at the ballot box.”

In a recent set of angry tweets, Steven Van Zandt defended his use of “cockroaches” to describe the political opposition after someone pointed out that the same insult was used in Rwanda to foment genocide.

Van Zandt claimed his use of “cockroach” was just “symbolism” and that he really meant to say “exterminate at the ballot box.” He called Trump supporters “pathetic MAgotts” and warned them: “Don’t project your mindless violence fantasies on this peace loving hippie.”

Guess I'm and idiot with 3 BAs an MA, and MS...because it seems he wants us dead? Exterminate us? Cockroaches? Guess I need to get a PhD to "understand".

I'd rather be called a deplorable by a smelly old lesbian:

Van Zandt deleted the tweet shortly thereafter, saying:

To avoid spending half my day deleting Foxsucking scumbag Russian bots and MAGOTT cockroaches like you! Go take away some women’s rights, keep some Black people from voting, go harass a Trans event, go shoot some kids, do what Republicans do best and get the **** outta my feed! https://t.co/5zV1hPEvIz

He later deleted that tweet as well.

Liberals sure like to threaten the people who have the guns.

I never want to hear Springsteen again. Part of the lure was the American sound but there is nothing American about those guys. Same goes for Neil Young.

Springsteen sounds like he is chronically constipated

So he’s threatening to kill us when we go to vote. That’s election interference and voter intimidation.

Stevie repeats all the tired, lame and vile insults seen on twitter. He’s brain dead.

At least he didn’t say “that’s not who I am”.

You know that never occurred to me. I thought he was just trying to show off his bum.

There are people who think “Born In The USA” is a patriotic song, when the fact is it’s anything but.

You have to hand it to him, that back in the day he fooled a lot of people with that blue collar everyman shtick of his.

Whenever I have second thoughts about the means I used to aquire some of my MP3 collection back in the day, “artists” like this open their pieholes and assuage my conscience.

yep... though, not bad for a guy from jersey.

i like his music, but i do not think his politics warrant any accolades. glory days and darlington county are favs, but all of chuck berry is good.
