“I attended the rally on the white house lawn and went back to hotel and took a nap. case closed,” he tweeted of his support at the rally alongside fellow indie musician John Maus, insisting he was against “violent confrontation or rioting.”

“Save yourselves friends, cancel me now and turn me in before they come for you,” he tweeted of his backlash Thursday — also saying, “Vote for Trump.”
