The country singer’s viral rant calling out hypocrisy among Christian Trump supporters sparks major debate online.
Country singer Bryan Andrews is making waves online after releasing a powerful and emotional message condemning President Donald Trump’s immigration policies — and the Christians who defend them.
The singer’s passionate video, posted to Instagram and TikTok, has quickly gone viral, earning millions of views and sparking conversations across social media.
“You don’t get to call yourself a Christian and then advocate and laugh when families are torn apart outside of courthouses,” Andrews said in his viral rant. “You are not Christian. You use Christianity as a shield to hide behind when you need to justify the hate that you’ve scolded into this world.”
In the videos, Andrews — who has more than 500,000 Instagram followers — took direct aim at what he sees as hypocrisy among some conservative Christians. His message also touched on recent Supreme Court rulings that expanded ICE’s authority to detain immigrants, which he said “gives a green light to racial profiling.” He condemned the ruling, arguing that “no one should be targeted just for being brown or speaking Spanish.”
The singer’s outrage was partly fueled by recent reports of late-night ICE raids in Chicago, where families claimed agents dragged children out of their homes without clothes. Andrews said the scenes made him sick and questioned how such actions could be defended under the banner of faith.
Alongside his political message, Andrews released his new single, “The Older I Get,” which he said reflects his personal growth and moral awakening. “When you’re laying in bed scrolling and see what’s happening, how can you not feel something?” he said. “Have we really become this numb to treating human beings like this?”
His words struck a chord with fans and celebrities alike. Actor Mark Ruffalo praised Andrews’ courage, writing, “THIS is the energy, compassion and anger we all need to have right now.” Another fan commented, “Country music finally finding its protest voice again — been a long road since Johnny Cash.”
As the video continues to spread, Andrews joins artists like Zach Bryan in using their platforms to speak out about social justice issues. Whether listeners agree or not, one thing is clear — Bryan Andrews has reignited country music’s protest spirit and isn’t afraid to call out hate hiding behind faith.
