Rock band Third Eye Blind mocked the audience at a charity concert for the Republican National Convention.
The band refused to play their greatest hits and ridiculed attendees over their stance on climate change and gay marriage Tuesday night at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, the New York Daily News reports.

“Raise your hand if you believe in science,” lead singer Stephan Jenkins yelled to the concert goers.
The taunting continued through the night regardless of the boos and jeers from the crowd.

“You can boo all you want, but I’m the motherfucking artist up here,” Jenkins added.
The official Twitter account of Third Eye Blind had one response to all the complaints: “Good.” The tweet has since been deleted.
@hunterw Great question. We were not, as musicians on call were well aware of who we are and our take on things (like science and rights!)
