Ariel Pink said that people have been ‘so mean’ to him for attending the rally at the Capitol building that turned into a riot that left four people dead.

The indie musician, alongside fellow singer John Maus and filmmaker Alex Lee Moyer, was among the Donald Trump supporters who attended the protest at the Capitol in Washington DC last week, confirming that he was there to ‘peacefully show support for my president’.
