Ron Filipkowski: "Eddie Vedder just talked some shit about Trump..." + video of what Eddie said

in Pittsburgh last night.

Eddie Vedder just talked some shit about Trump. But he probably wonâ€™t draw a deranged 1:43 AM Truth Social post because Trump never heard of Pearl Jam.

But I’ll ask again: where are the younger musicians on this? I know some endorsed Kamala but since then, I haven’t heard much. Is it because their music is not political?

Apparently, this was from their concert in Pittsburgh on Sunday. They also played a concert in Pittsburgh on Friday, and while Vedder didn't give the speech at that one, he played Springsteen's "My City Of Ruins" as a message of solidarity.
