Country singer-songwriter Hank Williams
Jr. has said he hates “gay-loving” President Barack Obama.
“We've got a Muslim for president who
hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves
gays, and we hate him!” Williams said Sunday during his performance
at the Stockyards Music Festival in Dallas, Texas.
According to The Dallas
Morning News, the crowd responded with a “loud but
less-than-unanimous” cheer.
The 63-year-old Williams, whose
nickname is Bocephus, also mocked “queer guitar pickers” in the
middle of All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down.
Last year, Williams was criticized for
comparing President Obama to Adolph Hitler during an appearance on
Fox News' Fox & Friends. The remark prompted ESPN to drop
using a version of his song All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over
Tonight as the opening for broadcasts of Monday Night
Football.
The 10-hour Stockyards Music Festival
included 13 performances on two stages. Williams, who headlined the
event, took the stage at 9:30PM following Merle Haggard's
performance.
