Child Rock stands out as the poster boy for Conservative politics within the music business, however in line with him, it’s way more nuanced than capturing up a case of Bud Mild would lead you to consider.
Typically labeled a racist, homophobic, and each different label progressives like to put on anybody who disagrees with them, Child Rock’s band and crew are literally fairly numerous.
I imply, we’re speaking a couple of man who received his begin within the rap/rock world of Detroit, and one whose relationship along with his father was strained when he fathered a toddler with a black lady. Do most individuals know that? I don’t suppose so. Child Rock’s father and his son went on to change into “finest mates” down the street…
A fan of “pimp” Invoice Clinton, he carried out at an occasion throughout Barak Obama’s first inauguration, he supported Mitt Romney, has usually mentioned he’s prefer to get a beer with “cool man” Barak Obama, and has been crucial of the Republican celebration for its extra conventional positions on abortion and homosexual marriage. He’s referred to himself as “extra Libertarian” up to now.
However all through most of profession, and even his newer help of Donald Trump and MAGA motion, Bob has at all times been a proponent of calming down, cracking open a beer, and listening to one another out.
In a current dialog with Invoice Maher, the well-known liberal speak present host and comic who’s been one his celebration’s most vocal critics, Child Rock reiterated that his whole profession has at all times featured all form of sorts. Maher referenced his 2022 tune “My Variety Of Nation,” which kicks off with a line about having room for each Donald Trump and JFK.
With RFK Jr. now being the confirmed because the Well being and Human Companies Secretary, Bob joked that he ought to’ve wrote RFK Jr. within the tune, to which, Invoice requested:
“Is he the final Democrat you preferred?”
After which, Child Rock gave a little bit historical past on him and his band:
“I imply, my entire enterprise is Democrats. I imply, so to talk. Not my entire enterprise. You understand, I dwell in Nashville now, however that’s the world I’ve operated in for years and years.
I imply, half my band’s, you understand, liberal, homosexual, or black, or this… you understand? We’ve one of the vital numerous bands on the market. Not due to any of this DEI sh*t. Simply because they’re the perfect at what they do, and all of us love one another and get alongside.”
That final line was met with fairly thunderous applause from Maher’s decidedly liberal viewers. However truthfully, I don’t suppose individuals understand that. The individuals who hate Child Rock for his politics suppose he has an all-white band of MAGA Republican males… not the case, by no means has been.
He continued:
“I additionally performed Barack Obama’s inauguration. I didn’t vote for him. I performed for him on the Kennedy Middle. You understand, this, that, and the opposite. I’m like, everyone’s simply received to calm the f*** down a little bit bit, you understand what I imply?”
NEW: Invoice Maher’s viewers CHEERS as Child Rock drops a shocking tackle getting together with Democrats.

Child Rock is proof that you may work with all types of individuals and nonetheless reject woke nonsense.
The media pushes division, however in the true world, individuals simply need to do their job, respect one another, and transfer on.
