US BBC donald trump inauguration
Kid Rock went on BBC News and started flirting with the presenter and the entire internet cringed itself into next year
It was always going to be a day of unusual spectacle, but we didn’t expected it to get quite so unusual quite so early.
And when we say ‘unusual’, what we really mean is surely the most cringeworthy thing you’ll see this year (we know it’s early) or possibly any year.
It’s mega Maga Kid Rock – you remember – who was invited on to BBC News to talk to Catriona Perry about his hero on the eve of his return to the White House, and it’s the BBC’s worst booking since Rage Against the Machine.
Because this happened (sound up), as shared by all-round top telly critic and presenter @scottygb.
Kid Rock flirting on BBC News is some of the most awkward television you’ll see this year. pic.twitter.com/IuYQbS083d

What is it with Catriona Perry and these Republicans?

Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt.
Strong stomach required for Kid Rock’s BBC News interview; I cringed so hard, I folded in on myself. https://t.co/vr4WOZmWb9

I feel like this entire interaction is very reflective of how the Trump presidency is going to go. https://t.co/R8NxyYlI3M

And before that he’d gone off about going to the Canadian Embassy (which would normally have a good view of the ceremony) but spouting 51st state and Governor Gretzky nonsense. Seriously, who invited him? https://t.co/VwDBtbnzcv
