For starters, Couture is not American. He’s Canadian, an Ontario native. He mentioned in a follow-up tweet that he doesn’t vote and said “I mentioned my father being a former police officer. I really don’t believe this is the world we live in.”

There wasn’t much in terms of clarification, but he did say this:

Dude, I’m Canadian. I don’t have a vote in the election. I only talked about what the Republicans may bring in the election. That was it. Punched right in the face

Couture went on to say that he he’s not even a Trump supporter, before adding this:

“I’ll never talk politics in public again. Just crazy to me, if you speak your own opinion violence happens. Even crazier, people are okay with it.” 

Weird story.

2020, folks. What a year.
