Staind frontman Aaron Lewis is once again spewing bewildering rhetoric from the stage. This time, the singer stopped his solo show last Thursday to question support for Ukraine and said “maybe we should listen to what Vladimir Putin is saying.”
In a lengthy rant before playing his topical right-wing song “Am I the Only One,” Lewis cites the dubious conspiracy theory that Putin is attacking Ukraine to dismantle the “Deep State” — a secret government sect meant to undermine former US president Donald Trump.
The theory has gained traction in the extreme right-wing circles frequented by people like Lewis, who previously led a chant of “f**k Joe Biden” at a solo concert. The guy apparently thinks he’s living in The X-Files, beginning his most recent tirade by imploring the crowd to be as paranoid as he is.
“So, I’m not gonna go into some big get-myself-in-trouble dissertation,” Lewis said before doing just that [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “All I’m gonna say is this: question everything. Everything that they’re telling you right now is a lie. Everything.”
He then bashes the Democrats, tying his anti-Biden sentiments into the conspiracy that Ukraine is central to the “Deep State” and that’s why Democrats want to support the country so much.
“We have no order,” Lewis said. “We have no president. Every single day that goes by, we lose standing in the world. Everyone’s laughing at us. Everyone is positioning themselves against us. And it’s not us — it’s the government that we put in power. These are the people that are making us look bad throughout the entire world — the same people that have you convinced that we all need to support Ukraine even though all of their money laundering systems, all of their everything, the way that they get all their kickbacks and they wash everything is all through the Ukraine.”
His rant culminates in seemingly voicing support for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, a country that he says is tied to billionaire philanthropist George Soros and Klaus Schwab, who is the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF). He also cited a bogus viral video depicting a moving body bag — a clip that pro-Russian supporters have called Western propaganda — apparently suggesting that the war in Ukraine is fake news (the clip is actually from a February climate-change protest in Vienna).
“You know, as f**ked up as it sounds, maybe we should listen to what Vladimir Putin is saying,” Lewis continued. “Maybe, just maybe, when Klaus Schwab and George Soros and every other dirty f**king earth-destroying motherf**ker all jumps on the same bandwagon, maybe, just maybe we should f**king take a good look at that. Why are they trying to protect Ukraine so much? What do they all have to lose?”

To top it off, Lewis manages to throw some COVID falsities into his blathering monologue. He called the vaccine “poison” and said that it wasn’t necessary because he was infected twice and didn’t die.
“Didn’t every single of us in this f**king room get COVID and live to tell the tale?” Lewis said. “We’re okay. I survived. I didn’t stick that poison in my f**king body. I did just fine. I had it twice. I’m not f**king dead.”
