Kid Rock not shy about supporting GOP's Romney and Ryan ticket, even if it irks a few fans
Michigan rocker says he's proud to have elected first black president, but sorry he didn't do better job
Kid Rock hasn't been shy about supporting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and running mate Paul Ryan, even if it costs him some fans.
The made-in-Michigan rock musician introduced Ryan during a rally Monday night in the Detroit suburb of Rochester.
The rapper, born Robert Ritchie, told the raucous crowd gathered at Oakland University that he believes "you have to stand for something" even if it may alienate a few fans.
Rock added that it was OK to disagree, particularly in a music business that he says "leans very left."
He quieted the crowd a bit when he shared his pride over the election of Barack Obama as the first black president.
"I'm very proud to say that we had elected our first black president. I'm sorry he didn't do a better job," Kid Rock said. "I really wish that he would have."
