Birmingham musician Phillip McCain has brought on the wrath of social media users who are upset about an expletive-laced Facebook post he made offering "to shoot" immigrants.
The post, which McCain appears to have taken down but lives on in screenshots spreading swiftly across social media, has even resulted in him being kicked out of his band Buck Wild and three venues canceling solo shows he had scheduled for the coming weeks.
"I'll tell ya what I'll volunteer to shoot their a**es when they approach the border. Problem solved. No more illegal f**ks coming in here. Period," McCain's Facebook post stated.
"I don't give a s**t about them, their kids, their s****y life or asylum. I care about American kids and American families. You've got to be a complete idiot to not get it, but then again we are talking about the libtard agenda. Liberalism is a mental disorder and I'm d**n sure glad that I'm not dumb s**t."
A screenshot of the posting is making the rounds on social media both within Alabama and beyond.

I'm not the person I'm being made out to be right now. I'm just an American and I believe in America first, and that's something that people don't want to hear these days," he said. "When people speak the truth, they don't want to hear it these days. And now I've found myself in a s**tstorm, so to speak."

(5,815 posts)What a dipsh*t. He goes on a social media, gives himself away as a racist, redneck, mouth breather and then is surprised when he gets called out for it. These idiots never learn. If you go out with a megaphone telling about how intolerant and hateful you are, you should not be surprised that anyone with a sense of decency and regard for humanity tells you to shut up. Just go away. Hide in shame if you have any sense of shame.
