Kid Rock has offered an olive branch to Kamala Harris voters, telling fellow supporters of newly re-elected President Donald Trump that "now is not the time to gloat."
Republican nominee Trump handily defeated the Democratic candidate Harris in Tuesday's presidential election, making him just the second person ever to be elected to the country's highest office for non-consecutive terms.
You can see Rock's video below.
A longtime supporter of Trump, Rock posted a video Friday that begins with him in on-stage mode, complete with a "Kid Rock election reaction" caption. Wearing a flame-adorned track suit, Rock prepares to speak then thinks better of it, pointedly drops the microphone, grabs his crotch and flips the bird to the camera.
After a burst of static, he returns with the caption now crediting Bob Richie (his real name), dressed as if he's about to go mow his lawn or maybe attend a Weezer concert. "First off, let me convey to my family, friends and supporters that now is not the time to gloat," he begins.
"We must remember that most of our left-leaning friends are good people, who want the same things in life as we do, but simply think differently on how to get there," he continues as scenes of small town America blend with his own concert footage, and finally to the failed July assassination attempt on Trump. "It is now time to be the bigger man, to extend an olive branch and unite all reasonable people of this great nation. God has blessed America, and together with President Trump, we will make America great again."
Before the Election, Kid Rock Offered Similar Praise for Taylor Swift and Eminem In a video posted on October 25, Rock offered kind words to another Detroit-based rapper, Eminem, who was vocal in his support for Harris. "I love Eminem. We've been friends for many years," he explained. "I don't agree with his politics, but I do give credit to him and people like Taylor Swift for standing up and not being afraid to be vocal for that in which they believe. Thinking differently and having the freedom to do so is what makes this country great."
“now is not the time to gloat.”
OK, name a better time!
Now is not the time to call them garbage. Wait a couple months and put them in the garbage where they will feel welcome.
Kid! Watch the Bud Light. It’s getting to you again.
He is a bigger person than me. I remember all the never ending BS and poor treatment.
OK. Don’t waste time gloating.
Do THIS:
1. Investigate
2. Prosecute
3. Imprison
That’s all very nice, but I suspect the average Kamala voter has never heard of him. Kid Rock’s top fame was a while ago.
Oh, and , re: that pic of him in the flame suit;
Was a Crotch Grab pose really necessary?
Is that the ‘Olive Branch’?
Sorry, Bob, all the reasonable people voted for Trump.
I’m always open to the possibility that some of the others will pull their heads out of their backsides ... but until then.
This feels like Trump talking to kid rock.
Trump will want to draw in progressives to support his moves.
He is a master at influence. The campaign changes shape now but never ends.
Too soon Kid. You are trying to court people who are acting out insanely.
Cut it out please.
I don’t have media to sell. I want retribution.
I bathe in schadenfreude and shower in salty libtard tears.
Kid went back to bud lite too...
He’s got sales to make.
I don’t.
No unity with the left. They are not compatible with my countries founding.
Be careful, always count your fingers after offering anything to rabid Lefties.
Sucking up to the people that buy his product. We don’t have that problem. What a BSer he is.
Unlike his fanbase who all voted for Trump and are currently celebrating.
So, he’s saying that there are fine people on both sides?
I’m pacing myself. I don’t want to over gloat and burn out. The leftist meltdowns are making it difficult though.
“He is a bigger person than me. I remember all the never ending BS and poor treatment.”
He doesn’t want to be the mirror image of them. I like the move.
Follow the $$$$. He wants to make friends with his public....
