Couture is a Canadian citizen and in a later tweet, he made it clear that he doesn’t have a vote in the U.S. election. Couture then explained that he was only talking about voting Republican, in a hypothetical scenario, which he alleges was met with a sucker-punch.

At this moment, the only thing known about the situation comes courtesy of Couture himself in the handful of tweets he sent out on Wednesday morning.
The Republican National Convention is taking place this week. Couture later went on to explain that he doesn’t like Trump while also tweeting he’ll “never talk politics in public again.”
The 31-year-old has spent his entire NHL career with San Jose.
