Couture, 31, is a Canadian native and cannot vote in the Nov. 3 U.S. election. He said he was punched for saying that he would vote Republican if he could, and also saying that his father was a police officer.

The Republican National Convention is taking place in Charlotte, N.C. this week. Couture later said he doesn't like Trump. He tweeted he "only talked about what the Republicans may bring in the election." The Sharks star also said he'll "never talk politics in public again."
