Trump shares Kid Rock's anti-Islam comments warning of 'civil war' in coming years

  • President Donald Trump has shared a clip of MAGA rapper Kid Rock making anti-Islam comments regarding Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
  • Speaking on Lara Trump's Fox News show, Kid Rock called El-Sayed a “wolf in sheep's clothing,” saying: “I don’t want my grandkids to one day have to fight some civil war over religious ideology.”
  • It comes after Trump repeatedly attacked El-Sayed online ahead of his tight Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers, calling him a “Jihadist lunatic” and “Terrorist Sympathizer” and referring to him as “Mohammad” or Mohammed.”
  • During an earlier joint rally appearance in Tennessee, Kid Rock claimed that America would never live under Sharia law, prompting Trump to suggest the musician should run for political office.
