re: #51 Gus

The statement came near the end of a concert at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand. Williams Jr.’s comments were first reported in a review by Des Moines Register reporter Joe Lawler.

According to Lawler, the show was relatively free of politics until the end, when Williams Jr. made the following claims:

“We’ve got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!”

The comments were apparently met with applause and loud cheers.

He’s talking about the Commander-in-Chief. The President of the United States of America.

I know, and I don’t like it. Rage Against the Machine has said and sung nothing as dishonest and outright mendacious as the words Hank Williams Jr. said in Iowa. He is a hater and a liar.
