Actress and singer Reneé Rapp unleashed an expletive-filled political tirade during her concert at Portland’s Moda Center on Monday, blasting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Trump administration, and US President Donald Trump himself.
The 25-year-old songwriter didn’t mince words as she condemned the recent ICE raids in Portland, Oregon, while continuing her Bite Me tour.
What Did Reneé Rapp Say About ICE and Donald Trump?
Rapp criticized the administration as she cursed at ICE and Trump during her concert—a moment now shared by many on social media.
“We are very, very, very excited to be here with you,” she enthusiastically told the audience. “You’re a wonderful, wonderful city.”
However, despite the upbeat start, The Sex Lives of College Girls star appeared disheartened that they were performing in the country at the same time ICE was active there.
“And it just happens that we’re here at the same time some people who shouldn’t [expletive] be here are,” she continued. “So let’s get a couple things abundantly f****** clear.”
From there, she went on to unleash more expletives.
“F*** ICE. F*** this administration. And F*** Trump,” she shouted, earning applause from the crowd.
Rapp seemed to be referring to the violent clashes between anti-ICE protesters and police outside a local ICE facility that have been ongoing for weeks.
In fact, ICE’s Portland office director Camila Wamsley previously claimed that the facility has faced over 100 nights of intense protests involving bottle rockets and rocks being thrown at the building, lasers aimed at officers’ eyes, and barricades erected to block vehicles.
