Kid Rock is taking on a starring role at a Log Cabin Republicans fundraiser — the “All Summer Long” singer is poised to headline an event this month in Nashville for the group, which represents LGBTQ conservatives.

The 53-year-old performer will appear at “Red White & Rock” on Sep. 29, the Log Cabin Republicans announced over the weekend.

The group billed the fundraiser as a “star-studded concert uniting conservatives and celebrating American spirit.”

The Log Cabin Republicans have also been championed by Melania Trump: The former first lady hosted her second fundraiser in a year for the organization in July.

feel worse for The Onion staff. What a difficult job they have trying to out-satirize the current GOP. Irony and satire are dying under the weight of GOP insanity.

And why the hell do Log Cabin Republicans keep giving money and support to people who hate them?

If Trump and the MAGAs get their way, Log Cabin Republicans will be locked up, institutionalized, persecuted.

In the video, Kid Rock looks directly into one phone and sings, “Fuck your iPhone, yeah!” He then flips off the person filming him. Continuing to sing, he then steps onstage, signals to his crotch and croons: “You can post this, you can post this, you can post this dick right now.” He then added the slur, which is censored in the video: “You fucking f****ts with your phones out!”

However, the 50-year-old has appeared remorseless and doubled down on his comments and even repeated the slur. Taking to Twitter and referring to himself in the third person, Kid Rock posted on June 9: "If Kid Rock using the word f****** offends you, good chance you are one.
