Kid Rock to Michelle Obama: Show Up for Trump’s Inauguration, It’s About Respect

Music icon Kid Rock, while on Jesse Watters Primetime, called out Michelle Obama for reportedly skipping the event.

He went on to say that he performed at Barack Obama’s inauguration and he didn’t even vote for him.

But he still wanted to respect the process and he had a good time doing it.

So Kid Rock emphasized respecting the presidency.

Political courtesy should be the priority, rather than personal feelings.

But I have a feeling his comments will fall on deaf ears concerning Michelle Obama.

Fox News reports:

Music legend Kid Rock took a jab at former first lady Michelle Obama for not planning to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, saying she “seems a little angry.”

Kid Rock, who will be performing at the inauguration festivities on January 20, argued Obama should attend out of “respect for the presidency.”

“I would kindly remind her that years back when [Barack] Obama was first elected, I did not vote for him, but they asked me to play the inauguration, and I played it and I went,” Rock told “Jesse Watters Primetime” Thursday night, recalling having a “good time” regardless of politics.

“So I would kindly remind Miss Michelle about that,” continued Kid Rock, stressing that he attended former President Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony out of respect for the presidential process.

According to new reports, the former first lady is skipping Trump’s inauguration rather than allegedly having to conceal her disdain for the incoming president.

Kid Rock has more class than Michelle Obama.
