""Fighting Nazis Since 1996.""
""It was this crazy, organic thing," says Ken Casey, lead singer of the band."
""We never put up a poster saying, 'Hey, wear our shirt!' But over the course of the next week, we sold like 6,000 of those shirts.""
A former D.C. police officer, Michael Fanone, wore a Dropkick Murphys T-shirt reading "Fighting Nazis Since 1996" while seated behind special counsel Jack Smith during a House hearing. Fanone’s visible reactions to GOP assertions minimizing the Jan. 6 attack drew attention from C-SPAN viewers and political watchers. The band experienced a sudden spike in sales of that specific shirt, selling roughly 6,000 in a week and placing the item on back order. Lead singer Ken Casey maintains a long history of outspoken opposition to MAGA immigration policies, racist rhetoric, and attacks on the working class. The band severed ties with the Wasserman Music agency after the agency’s namesake appeared in Epstein files.
