Conservative Singer Kid Rock Live On Fox News: ‘Screw That Joy Behar B*tch’

Country rock star Kid Rock slammed Joy Behar on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning, calling the “The View” co-host a “bitch” just moments before urging people to show more love and tolerance for one another.

“We can disagree and still be cordial with one another and just talk about things without going for each others throats and protesting everything,” the performer, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, told host Steve Doocy.

“God forbid you say something a little bit wrong you’re racist, homophobic, Islamophobic… 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 bitch, everybody but that.”

When Kid Rock visited the White House in 2017, Behar asked if it was the “saddest day in in the history of the White House since the British burned it to the ground in 1814.”

Doocy quickly moved into damage control, chiding the musician and apologizing to viewers for the incident.

“You cannot say that. We apologize for that,” he said.

“I mean, ‘lady,’” Rock added, and later clarified in the segment that he was “joking.”

When the show went back to their New York City studio, fellow co-host Ainsley Earhardt also moved swiftly to apologize for the entire program.

“We do need to apologize. We don’t feel that way about Joy Behar,” said Earhardt. “We don’t condone that language.”

Fox News has banned guests for much less than Rock’s remarks, and it’s unclear whether the musician will continue to be allowed as a guest on the channel’s airwaves. Rock has a long history of making eye-brow raising remarks, and briefly made headlines last year after teasing a possible challenge to Michigan Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow.
