A venue canceled an American rock band concert in El Paso, Texas after band members posted an anti-Trump comment on social media and displayed an upside-down American flag as part of their video-screen backdrop.

Rock band Filter was scheduled to perform Speaking Rock Casino in El Paso, Texas, on March 7, but their effort to do a last-minute promotion of their show along with their digital flag display offended the venue, which caused the concert to be canceled, the band said.
