Aaron Lewis appeared on The Tucker Carlson Show and criticized Bruce Springsteen’s politics and public image. Lewis called Springsteen unpatriotic and accused him of duping the public with "Born in the USA," labeling the song anti-American. Lewis said he regretted giving Springsteen credit as a representation of blue-collar America. Lewis claimed Springsteen has forgotten his origins and lost touch with the struggle, which he linked to Springsteen’s support for Democratic candidates. Lewis characterized those voters as virtue signalers who feel guilty about their success. Lewis referenced his solo single, which questions playing Springsteen songs.
"I think that he is a disgusting display of not appreciating what was handed to him, in this country as being an American, the success that he has had. The fact that he duped us all with one of the most anti-American songs ever and called it 'Born in the USA' as some sort of celebration of how great it is to be born in the USA. I'm angry at myself for not seeing it for so long and actually giving him, in my mind, the credit of being a representation of blue-collar America."
"It seems like most people who have lost touch with the true struggle of life, those are the people that vote for these fucking idiots. Those are the people that feel like they have to virtue signal. Those are the people that, somewhere along the way, they feel guilty for the success that they have had, so they somehow have to make it up with this nonsensical bullshit..."
"Am I the only one who quits singin' along/ Every time they play a Springsteen song?"
