The comment comes amid McConnell’s recent health scare, including a fall, hospitalization for pneumonia, and ongoing rehab. It’s not their first rodeo: in 2003, they sparked global controversy with anti-Bush remarks, leading to boycotts and threats, which later became the subject of their documentary “Shut Up and Sing.” After renaming themselves in 2020 as a statement of growth and alignment with history, they’ve kept their socially conscious edge alive with protest anthems like “March March.” Their latest jab proves they’re still unafraid to speak truth to power—even if it means stirring up trouble.
