Kid Rock’s recent live TV antics landed him an open letter from the Special Olympics, all stemming from his less-than-charming use of an ableist slur.
Last Friday, during an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime, the noted Bud Light hater decided it would be hilarious to announce his Halloween costume as “a r—–” while clutching a face mask. Sadly, the host found this side-splittingly funny, bursting into merciless guffaws.
This was meant to be a joke at the expense of COVID-era mask mandates, which might have been somewhat edgy five years ago.
Of course, the term used by the 54-year-old rapper turned country rock poser has been considered a derogatory slur against people with intellectual disabilities for this entire century.
