Kid Rock told Fox News' Tucker Carlson that he won't apologize for a drunken rant in which he blasted Oprah Winfrey and more.
The musician made headlines after blasting Winfrey and "View" co-host Joy Behar during a 2019 appearance at his Nashville, Tennessee, music club, during which he said "F Oprah Winfrey" and "F Joy Behar."
What are the details?
During a sit-down with the Fox anchor's "Carlson Originals," the rocker — real name Robert James Ritchie — said that he stands by his thoughts.
"A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts, I own what I said," he told Carlson. "I don’t apologize to anybody. I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan. I got drunk and fin’ next thing, I’m on stage [saying] f Oprah."
"I’m not in bed with any big corporate things," he said at the time. "At the end of the day, there’s nobody I’m beholden to — no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing. You can’t cancel me. I love it when they try."
Praise for Trump
He also praised former President Donald Turmp and compared his speeches to that of President Joe Biden.
"If you watch a Joe Biden interview and you watch a Trump interview, you’re just like … ‘There's no comparison.’ And Trump, yeah, he speaks off the cuff, I understand what it’s like," he explained. "Sometimes you get it wrong … you know this that and the other. But I would way rather hear somebody come from here [touches chest] and get it wrong once in a while than see this contrived … pretty much every politician until he came along at some level everything was scripted.”
