Green Day re-wrote the lyrics of their controversial song "Bang, Bang" to launch an attack Sunday on U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at the American Music Awards.
During the live broadcast on ABC Television Sunday night, the band sang, "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA."
It was the most pointed barb against Trump on the annual show hosted this year by former Saturday Night Live comedian Jay Pharaoh and model Gigi Hadid.
The winners of the American Music Awards are chosen by fans voting online.
