Kid Rock Slams Ilhan Omar, Tells Her To ‘Walk Back To Where You Came From’ On Fox News
The rock musician took aim at Democrats, urging them to “shut up” ahead of Trump’s viciously partisan speech to Congress.
Kid Rock urged Democrats to “shut up” and “learn something” during President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress, singling out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a cringey interview.
Speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Watters Tuesday before the president’s address, the rock musician tore into both Omar and Pelosi after Watters suggested the two might attempt to pull “some stunts” and cause “a ruckus” during Trump’s viciously partisan remarks.

“I mean, how did that work when Nancy did her little — tore up her little thing?” Kid Rock said, alluding to Pelosi tearing up her copy of Trump’s State of the Union speech in 2020.
As for Omar, who is Muslim, he added: “Ilhan Omar’s gonna walk out? I mean, come on. Just collect your things from your office, put a basket on your head and walk back to where you came from, that’s what I would say.”

Though it’s hard to say what exactly Watters meant by “stunts,” Trump’s address featured visible signs of protests by Democrats, some of whom held black placards with the words “Save Medicaid” and “Protect veterans,” among other messages.
Prior to the speech, the House Freedom Caucus ― which is composed of far-right Republicans ― warned lawmakers that those who “use noisemakers, make threats, throw things or otherwise disrupt” would face repercussions.
Of course, Kid Rock is no stranger to incendiary remarks toward Democrats. The five-time Grammy nominee, who is one of Trump’s most prominent celebrity supporters, took aim at former first lady Michelle Obama in January after it was confirmed she would not attend Trump’s inauguration that month.

“I would kindly remind her that years back when [President Barack] Obama was first elected, I did not vote for him, but they asked me to play the inauguration,” he said. “And I played it and I went, had a good time. I went out of respect for the presidency, so I would kindly remind Ms. Michelle about that.”
As to why he thought Michelle Obama had opted out of Trump’s swearing-in this time around, he said: “She seems a little angry. She might be — I don’t know, if you can’t say something nice...”

Some songs seem as if they were sent down to us music fans from on high. It's as if some are just the Platonic Ideal of music. And when it comes to swamp rock and a raspy, guttural singing voice that fits, there is seemingly nothing better than lead singer John Fogerty and his band Creedence Clearwater Revival.
