Media mogul, Bob Johnson offers advice to the Democrats

Media mogul and Co-Founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET), Robert Johnson gave an exclusive interview to CNBC this week and didn’t hold his words in discussing the presidential election and his predictions of the outcome.

“I think the president has always been in a position where it’s his to lose based on his bringing a sort of disruptive force into what would be called political norms,” says Johnson, who founded RLJ Companies business network, told CNBC’s Hadley Gamble.

Johnson further explains in the sit-down interview that Trump “brings his style” to the way he handles governmental issues. “That’s something that the president’s supporters like and the reason why they voted for him and will do so again next year,” added Johnson.

Believing that Trump has the enact ability to “dominate the news cycle” is what allows him to hold an advantage over the Democrats that plan to run against him. Often moving in a reactionary form, Democrats are often agitated over something that the president says or tweets, often taking them off their game. In addition, Johnson believes that “none of the Democratic presidential candidates appear to be “enough in the center” where most voters are, particularly African-American voters.”

You might recall, in September, Johnson went on another CNBC show expressing support for Donald Trump, saying “There used to be an old saying, that ‘When White America catches a cold, African-Americans get pneumonia,’” he explained in the interview. “It’s going the opposite way now. White unemployment is going down, [and] African-American unemployment is going down. That’s a plus-plus that you can’t argue with.”

“I give the president credit for doing positive things; when I see a president doing positive things, particularly for African Americans,” added Johnson.

Even with the recorded previous praise for Donald Trump; Johnson continues to describe himself as a longtime Democrat who has always been a man that speaks his mind no matter the outcome.

Kid Rock continues to bash Oprah during his recent performance

Kid Rock is receiving backlash after his derogatory remarks and sexually explicit insults towards Oprah Winfrey, and other women in entertainment.

During a performance at “Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse,” in Nashville earlier this week, the rocker could be seen and heard on camera, telling the likes of Winfrey, Joy Behar, and Kathie Lee Gifford to “suck d*** sideways.”

“I’m like, Oprah Winfrey or Joy Behar, they can suck d— sideways,” the star said in the video, which was obtained by TMZ. Rock even proceeded to repeatedly motion his hands and make a gesture, as if he were emulating someone’s head toward his crotch.

The 48-year-old artist is seen on video continuing his rant saying, “F** Oprah Winfrey and fuck Kathie Lee Gifford.” Someone in the audience, possibly the person recording the incident, can be heard saying, “He’s blackout drunk,” in the background.

Later into his rant, Kid Rock addresses those who he claims may try to accuse him of being “a racist” later.

“‘Well, I’m pretty sure Kid Rock’s a racist,” he said, “I’m, like, ‘Fine. F– off,’ sideways.”

He continued, “I’m not the bad guy in this equation. I’m the f–in’ guy you want, like, hey, he’s pretty cool.”

Last night (Nov. 29), Rock tweeted the reason behind his personal disdain for the billionare mogul and powerhouse:

My people tried to get me to do The Oprah Winfrey show years ago and her people wanted me to write down 5 reasons why I loved her and her show…🏳️‍🌈 I said fuck that and her. End of story.

— Kid Rock (@KidRock) November 29, 2019

 

Rock’s rant occurred just days shy of the one-year anniversary of him doing a live morning show with “Fox & Friends” in which he referred to Joy Behar as the b-word, during a discussion with host Steve Doocy. “Screw that Joy Behar bi###,” Rock said.

This isn’t Kid Rock’s first time being flagged for being out of line for women, and more specifically, women of color.

Back in 2015, during Rock’s controversial interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he expressed his disinterest in Beyonce’s fandom, and undermined her star-power:

“Beyoncé, to me, doesn’t have a f***ing ‘Purple Rain,’ but she’s the biggest thing on earth,” Rock told the magazine. “How can you be that big without at least one ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ or ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’?”

His then went on to criticize Mrs. Carter’s popularity, as it pertains to beauty. “People are like, ‘Beyoncé’s hot. Got a nice f***ing ass.’ I’m like ‘Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big tits.’ Doesn’t really f***ing do much for me.”
