Kid Rock has launched a sexist attack on Taylor Swift’s political views, claiming that Swift sided with Democrats to secure concert dates and making a lewd comment about oral sex.
The “Bawitdaba” rapper/rocker tweeted Friday morning, “Taylor Swift wants to be a Democrat because she wants to be in movies…period. And it looks like she’s going to suck on Hollyweird’s doorknob to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.”
His tweet comes a day after Swift discussed her political stance in depth and explained her silence during the 2016 presidential election in a Vogue cover interview.
“Unfortunately, in the 2016 election, you had a political opponent who was using the idea of celebrity endorsements as a weapon,” Swift said, referring to Donald Trump’s 2016 candidacy. “He was going around saying, ‘I’m a man of the people. I support you. I care about you.’ I just knew I wasn’t going to be helpful.”
“The summer before that election, everyone was saying, ‘She’s calculating. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar.’ Those were the exact insults that people were hurling at Hillary,” she added. “Was I going to be a supporter or was I going to be a liability? ‘Look, snakes with feathers together. Look, two women lying. Two bad women.’ Millions of people told me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many ways.”
