Kid Rock Removed from Performance After Unleashing on Joy Behar
There are few people in the leftist media that deserve to be excoriated more than “The View” co-host Joy Behar.
Considering the some of the absolute scum present in the far left media, that’s actually quite a feat for Behar.
It doesn’t take much to realize just how unhinged Behar is, even among the nuttiest of liberals.
Behar drew much deserved criticism when she said that the Country Music Association awards weren’t political enough because they didn’t want to discuss gun control measures.
“I don’t believe that you get a pass just because you’re a performer,” she said on “The View.” “My personal belief is that we are in an emergency. The democracy is at risk, and everybody should be speaking up, everybody.”
Yes, because people want politics shoved down their throats while trying to watch television. Somehow, that’s somewhat mild for Behar.
She infamously made the much ridiculed claim that Supreme Court judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination was an exhibition of “white power.”
“We hope (America doesn’t become South Africa), but this is what they want,” she said. “The people who are only interested in retaining white power in this country.”
As is readily apparent, Behar deserves as much scorn as humanly possible.
One person who has never had a problem delivering scorn, be it through his rhetoric or music, is musician Kid Rock. The rock star blasted Behar in a segment for “Fox & Friends.”

“People need to calm down, a get a little less politically correct, and, I would say, love everybody. Except, I’d say screw that Joy Behar b—-, everybody but that,” Kid Rock said.
Look, it’s hard to defend Kid Rock’s use of language no matter how despicable Behar is. Simply put, Kid Rock’s language is inappropriate.
But by that same token, much of Behar’s existence is inappropriate.
As Kid Rock soon found out though, is that unlike Behar, there are consequences to what he says.
After Fox News apologized for Kid Rock’s comments, he was promptly pulled from this year’s Nashville Christmas parade. As WTVF-TV reports, Kid Rock was replaced as Grand Marshal by James Shaw Jr., who stopped a shooter at a Waffle House in April.
For his part, Kid Rock issued the perfect response to the controversy, apologizing for the language but not the commentary.
“Behar has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump and when Myself, Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent visited The White House last year, Behar called it “the saddest day in in the history of the White House since the British burned it to the ground in 1814,” Kid Rock said in a statement to WTVF-TV.
“Today I said ‘Screw that Joy Behar b—-,'” the statement continued. “Mess with the bull, you get the horns. End of story.”
“I apologized for cursing on live tv, I will not for my sentiment nor do I expect an apology from her or anyone else who has choice words for me or doesn’t like me,” Kid Rock added.
“God Bless America.”
Kid Rock’s language was probably counter-productive to his greater point. And to be sure, Behar is a whiny, idiotic leftist. But actions will always have consequences.
Good for Kid Rock for realizing the error of his language, while still maintaining his greater critique of Behar. She more than deserves that much.
