Kid Rock just used sexual innuendo to attack Taylor Swift over her jab at Trump

Superstar musician Taylor Swift found herself the target of right-wing ire this week with the release of her new Vogue cover story. In it, she discussed her political opinions, a topic which she has largely avoided in the past. While she has had a reputation for avoiding politics for most of her career, she has become more engaged over the past couple of years.

Swift gave endorsements to Democrats during the 2018 midterms and has become an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights. The former drew Trump’s attention this past October and he said that her endorsements of the opposition party made him like her music “25% less.”

Now, the Vogue interview has incensed conservatives anew, as the GOP simply cannot stand to see anyone, especially someone with as influential a platform as Swift, standing up for the dignity and rights of those the right-wing seeks to oppress.

“Rights are being stripped from basically everyone who isn’t a straight white cisgender male. I didn’t realize until recently that I could advocate for a community that I’m not a part of,” said Swift in her Vogue piece.

“It’s hard to know how to do that without being so fearful of making a mistake that you just freeze. Because my mistakes are very loud. When I make a mistake, it echoes through the canyons of the world. It’s clickbait, and it’s a part of my life story, and it’s a part of my career arc,” she went on.

Later in the interview, Swift addresses the criticism she faced for not coming out strongly against Donald Trump in 2016.

“Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement. He was going around saying, I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you. I just knew I wasn’t going to help,” said Swift.

“Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was She’s calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar. These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary. Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability? Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women. Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses,” she added.

Not surprisingly, Swift’s brave and honest words have angered Republicans who simply can’t stand the thought of anyone criticizing their beloved authoritarian leader.

Washed up musician Kid Rock — real name Robert James Ritchie — appears to be particularly irritated with Swift for standing up for the marginalized, as he decided to launch a disgusting sexually-charged tweet at Swift, demeaning her for supporting Democratic ideas.

“Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies…period,” he tweeted from his official account. He went on to accuse her of trading sexual favors for access and fame, a completely unfounded and vile accusation that says far more about Ritchie than it does her.

It’s worth noting that Swift has already appeared in numerous films and will be appearing in the much-anticipated film “Cats.” Ritchie, on the other hand, is struggling to remain relevant so desperately that he even floated the idea of a Senate bid just to drum up attention. The man is utterly pathetic and his decision to align himself with the MAGA movement will only hasten his hurtle into obscurity.

The sexist smear understandably ignited outrage and in turn, invited a wave of mockery against Kid Rock. Many took aim at the fact that he pretends to be working class but is in fact a multimillionaire who had a privileged upbringing. Others laughed at how deeply irrelevant he has become.
