Kid Rock’s Cringey Birthrate Blame Game
Brace yourselves—Kid Rock has cracked the code on America’s sliding birth rate, and it’s all because of–you guessed it–“ugly-ass liberal women.” On a recent episode of Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime (October 21), Robert James Ritchie, better known as Kid Rock, abandoned any semblance of data-driven analysis. Instead, he scrolled through clips of Newark immigration protests and, egged on by Watters, declared that the nation’s fertility crisis boils down to women with Trump Derangement Syndrome being unsexy. According to the “Bawitdaba” singer, liberal protesters are “broke, crazy, deranged” and therefore ineligible to reproduce. Brilliant reasoning, indeed.
Kid Rock’s lone parenting credential is one child, which apparently qualifies him to pontificate on demographic trends without mentioning skyrocketing childcare costs, the economic independence of women, or recent state-level abortion bans. Instead, he opted for an on-air lizard-brain spin: “It just hit me right now, because who’s going to sleep with these ugly-ass, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS liberal women?” he sneered. “It’s like a bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with, and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other.”
Unsurprisingly, social media had a field day. On X, formerly Twitter, one user quipped, “Kid Rock’s dropping drunk uncle takes on fertility rates,” while another shot back, “If your politics depend on who’s ‘hot,’ you’re auditioning for irrelevance.” Reactions ranged from mockery of his misogynist, homophobic rant to tongue-in-cheek offers of wardrobe consultations for MAGA men. Plenty reminded him that despising half the population isn’t exactly a recipe for procreation. As one comment put it, “No woman wants to sleep with misogynistic men who view them as property.” Ouch.
Sources like HuffPost (October 23) and clips circulating on X paint a clear portrait: this was less a policy discussion and more a public meltdown fueled by Fox’s echo chamber. Jesse Watters appeared content to let Kid Rock unleash raw prejudice, proving that sensational soundbites still score ratings even when they fail basic logic. The “Cowboy” musician may have delivered his take with the swagger of a stage performer, but it landed with the subtlety of a sledgehammer—no facts required.
So there you have it—Kid Rock’s foolproof solution to the birth-rate slump is simply convincing liberal women to be more dateable. Another masterclass in how not to make an argument. You’re welcome.
