Hank Williams Jr, who compared John Boehner playing golf with President Obama to “Hitler playing golf with Benjamin Netanyahu,” is under fire after being spotted playing 18 holes with Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi yesterday.
“Hank’s brilliant political commentary used to carry as much weight as Toby Keith’s around here,” said Fox and Friends anchor Gretchen Carlson. “I don’t even know what to believe anymore.”
Carlson wasn’t the only one upset after learning of the country star’s hypocritical relationship with a despot. Williams’ song, “Are You Ready?”, which had opened Monday Night Football for the past 20 years, was pulled from last night’s Indianapolis-Tampa Bay game.
Williams told OMGG.com that he doesn’t understand the backlash.
“Muammar is a really a great guy,” said Williams. “It ain’t like he’s a Democrat or nothing.”
