System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan has continued to speak out on his political views via social media, saying on Instagram that he is “no danger whatsoever” of losing his position with the band even though he and singer Serj Tankian have wildly different stances.
Dolmayan, who has praised Donald Trump in recent weeks, blasted “cowards” who criticize those who think they are “coming from a morally superior position,” saying that they “can't handle free speech” and “need to be herded along with the rest of the sheep.”
He also called Democrats “the true bigots” who “fought to maintain slavery” and were “directly responsible for 70 plus million abortions, a large majority of whom were black.”
Dolmayan concluded his post by wishing Trump a happy birthday and “good luck” in this November's election. The drummer supports Trump's claim that his administration has done more for the African American community “than any president since Abraham Lincoln.”
Dolmayan's views are in sharp contrast to those of System singer Serj Tankian, who called for Trump to resign and described him as “completely useless” over his handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
