WASHINGTON, DC – MAY 18: Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) speaks at a press conference on Gun Safety … [+]
A stunning and somewhat shocking (to some, at least) moment unfolded at a recent Paramore concert in Washington, D.C., as Florida Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost took the stage alongside lead vocalist Hayley Williams. Their joint performance of the band’s popular track “Misery Business” turned into a powerful platform for Frost to express his vehement disapproval of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
In a video that quickly circulated on social media, Frost can be heard passionately exclaiming, “f—- Ron DeSantis” and “f—- fascism.” His comments were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the energized audience.
Unyielding in the face of potential upcoming criticism, Frost took to Twitter to reaffirm his bold statement, stating, “I said what I said.”
Frost also shared his exhilarating experience at the concert by posting a video of himself passionately singing along to “Misery Business” and showcasing his rockstar spirit. He also shared photos of him alongside the band’s lead singer, Hayley Williams. Expressing his gratitude for the moment, Frost humbly tweeted, “Very grateful for this moment. I’ve been practicing in the shower for YEARS.”
As the youngest member of Congress and the first representative from Generation Z, Frost—elected to Florida’s 10th congressional district—brings a fresh perspective and unyielding opposition to DeSantis’ conservative policies in their home state. By joining forces with Williams, he amplifies the ongoing resistance against the governor’s divisive agenda, which clearly not all Floridians share.
While such candid and profane language may be rare in the realm of politics, it comes as no surprise from the fearless and outspoken frontwoman of Paramore. Known for her candidness and willingness to address pressing issues, Williams utilized a recent concert in New Jersey to voice her strong disapproval of DeSantis. Without hesitation, she declared, “I’ll be happy to tell you I’m very f—-ing comfortable talking politics. And if you vote for Ron DeSantis, you’re f—-ing dead to me.”
