Pop punk band Green Dayno stranger to political statementshad a very blunt, expletive-laden message for Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz at their latest concert.

Green Day's message to Cruz comes as the Texas Republican continues to face scathing criticism for his response to last month's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Cruz was swiftly rebuked after suggesting schools would be safer if there were fewer exits and if more armed officers were stationed inside school buildings.
