Kid Rock is being slammed as a sexist for a crude tweet he posted Friday morning about Taylor Swift being a Democrat.

“Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period,” the President Trump-supporting rocker tweeted to his nearly 600,000 followers. “And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.”

Ms. Swift, who is set to appear in the upcoming film version of “Cats,” only recently waded into the partisan debate before the 2018 midterms, revealing herself as a Democrat and quashing rumors that she was a closeted Trump supporter. The pop star spoke to Vogue magazine in a cover story released Thursday about her decision not to endorse Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.

“Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement,” Ms. Swift said of Mr. Trump. “He was going around saying, ‘I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you.’ I just knew I wasn’t going to help.

“Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was ‘She’s calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar.’ These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary,” she added. “Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability? Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women. Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses.”

Ms. Swift did not respond to Kid Rock’s tweet, but others certainly did. His name became a top trending topic on Twitter by Friday afternoon.

Mr. Conferate Flag is slut-shaming a colleague because her political ideology is different than his.

We knew it was from you because it’s sexist, ignorant and dripping with jealousy for a more successful musician. You’ve proven just who you are for everyone. — Fred Wellman (@FPWellman) August 9, 2019

Your sexism is lame and unoriginal, much like your music. — Kendally Brown (@kendallybrown) August 9, 2019

Literally any rock is better than Kid Rock. Fraggle Rock, Jailhouse Rock, the Rock, Chris Rock, a small rock that flew up from the road and cracked my windshield. — Adam Best (@adamcbest) August 9, 2019
