NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Kid Rock appeared as a guest on 'Newsmax' with Eric Bolling on December 20, and responded to Megyn Kelly's criticisms of him in the previous week over stopping the boycott of the beer brand Bud Light.

The 52-year-old musician appeared on the news segment to discuss the Colorado ruling that banned his friend, former President Donald Trump, from the state ballot, as well as to defend his current stance on the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.

Back in April, Rock actively supported boycotting the brand after they partnered with influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who identifies as a transgender. However, he now feels that it is time to move on.

What did Megyn Kelly say about Kid Rock?

While slamming Bud Light in a recent episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show', the commentator stated that the company's boycott "is like the only successful boycott that Republicans have ever engaged in. It’s the only time they’ve stuck together and actually been heard. And because Kid Rock and Dana White want to give it up, we’re supposed to all surrender our principles now."

Focusing her attention on Rock, she continued, "And I like Kid Rock. I actually do. I like the guy, but he’s wrong. He can do what he wants. If he wants to drink a Bud Light, he can. He does not speak for the rest of us! ... Who at Bud Light thinks that we do what Kid Rock tells us to?"

"Well, first of all, first off, I love Megyn. We’ve been friends for a long time, but she’s got this one wrong. Saying me and Dana don’t speak for conservatives, neither one of us ever said we did," began Rock, as he launched into an explanation.

Rock said, "I’m pretty sure (Bud Light) got the message. Do I agree with what they did? F no! And we held their head underwater for quite some time and we heard them."

"I’m not someone to keep punching somebody when they’re down when there’s a whole lot more companies deserving of this treatment," he continued.

"And, you know, and Dana has told me specifically as a very good friend of mine about, you know, the things they’ve done through the years with Folds of Honor. So has Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney, for that matter, and countless other things. And I’m like, I get it. They made a mistake. All right. I don’t need to kill them," he said.

Playing on the offensive

After clarifying his stance, Rock went further and warned Kelly about her hot takes.

"Megyn ought to be careful when she’s throwing stones in glass houses, because I told her way back in the day, (she was) on a familiar network," he said.

"She could have been king of Fox News. But they dangled that shiny carrot in front of her, and for whatever reason, whether it was money, maybe she wanted more mainstream success... she goes to NBC," he noted.

"And what happened at NBC? She still is as conservative as she ever was over there. And NBC didn’t like that, so what did they do? They threw her out like a redheaded stepchild. So careful, Megyn. We’re all on the same team here," added Rock.
