Media Matters\u2019 Andrew Lawrence joked that the performance might be indicative of a miscalculation on behalf of the RNC.<\/p>\n<p>He tweeted, \u201cOk, watching kid rock scream sing in prime time at the rnc and im beginning to think that republicans may be a bit over confident.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-inread\">\n<p>Writer Brandon Halsey\u00a0summed it up, \u201cSo \u2026.. Kid Rock just made a bunch of 75 year olds pump their fists in the air, yelling \u2018fight.\u2019 That just happened in 2024\u2019s America. Embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1200\/675\/kid-rock-2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Kid Rock rallies Trump supporters at RNC as rocker leans into politics | Fox News\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Therapist Ken Theroux noted the surreality of the performance itself. \u201cImagine telling 2004 Republicans that Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock would headline Donald Trumps third nomination 5 days after he got shot in the ear,\u201d he\u00a0wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>One person\u00a0likened Kid Rock\u2019s performance to that of Ingrid Andress, who checked herself into rehab earlier this week after\u00a0she performed the national anthem\u00a0while drunk ahead of a baseball game.<\/p>\n<p>X user\u00a0@TheUrbanMonk321\u00a0made an apt comparison between Kid Rock and David Spade\u2019s character Joe Dirt from the 2001 film by the same name. \u201cKid Rock looks like the guy that sells Bowie knives at the swap meet.I\u2019mma tell my kids this is kid rock,\u201d they wrote on the platform.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-content\">\n<p>For others, the quality of the singer\u2019s performance was nothing exceptional. As one person\u00a0wrote on X, \u201cI saw Kid Rock at an all day festival in 1999 by a local Alt Rock Radio station. It was a stage at the back wall of center field. The rest of the field was concert goers. He opened up w\/ his bawitdabaw and then everyone sat down waiting for Incubus. It was bad then. Bad now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Abby D. Phillips might have put it best when she\u00a0tweeted\u00a0simply, \u201cThis is\u2026 something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kid Rock performed his song \u201cAmerican Bad Ass\u201d with the lyrics amended to support Trump. Throughout the song, the singer chanted, \u201cFight, fight\u201d \u2014 a reference to\u00a0the July 13 shooting\u00a0at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, where the former president mouthed the same words to the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Thursday the singer, who was not on the list of speakers for the night,\u00a0announced\u00a0he had arrived in Milwaukee ahead of the convention. In a video that featured the singer in a National Rifle Association cap, he teased in part, \u201cWe just arrived in Milwaukee to support our tried and true, red, white and blue, 100 percent American bada\u2011\u2011 president. What\u2019s (going to) happen tonight? Tune in to find out. But here\u2019s a hint \u2014 are you scared?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Hill later reported the singer was seen rehearsing at Fiserv Forum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"idlastshow2\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-post-after\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kid Rock\u2019s RNC Performance Roasted by Baffled Viewers: \u2018Republicans May Be a Bit Over Confident\u2019 Kid Rock\u2019s performance at the fourth and final night of the Republican National Convention was &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5710,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5709"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5711,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709\/revisions\/5711"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
