Kid Rock faced a wave of online criticism after telling a Donald Trump rally in Tennessee that he opposed 'socialism,' 'communism' and 'Islamist extremists whose end goal is to impose Sharia law on this nation.'
The 55-year-old musician, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, delivered the speech at Trump's event in Clarksville, Tennessee, on Saturday, 10 October, ahead of the state's gubernatorial election on 3 November. His remarks prompted some social-media users to label him a 'shameless clown.'
