Many fans of Martha Stewart were outraged after she shared photos of herself getting chummy with controversial musician Kid Rock at the 2024 Kentucky Derby.

Kid Rock is an outspoken fan of Donald Trump whose most recent songs are "patriotic" tunes about loving God and hating everything "woke" and the usual right-wing MAGA pablum.

For many fans of the lifestyle guru, that was a toxic combination they weren't about to tolerate.

Stewart posted a series of photos to Instagram from her day at the Derby with some jockeys and fellow attendees, like singer Josh Groban, but the Kid Rock photo was the one that most caused a stir.

The comments on the post quickly filled with fans angry that Stewart would take a photo with someone so incendiary.

Kid Rock has been criticized for using homophobic slurs and Confederate flags in his stage shows, along with his outspoken MAGA views, and several Instagram users called these incidents out in their angry comments directed at Stewart.

A few celebrated the photo, however, applauding Stewart for "triggering the libs"—as if they wouldn't have a collective meltdown if Donald Trump were to take a picture with, say, Rachel Maddow.

Others called out liberal commenters for trying to dictate who a person can and cannot associate with at an event, calling it un-American.

But the supportive comments seemed to be vastly outnumbered by those who were upset by the photo.

American YouTuber Arrested After Sneaking Onto Remote Island And Leaving Diet Coke For Uncontacted Tribe

24-year-old YouTuber Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov was arrested after making contact with one of the world's last uncontacted tribes, making the perilous and ill-advised journey to North Sentinel Island and leaving a coconut and a can of Diet Coke on the beach as a gift to the Sentinelese.

Polyakov, 24, arrived at the northeastern shore of North Sentinel Island at 10 a.m. on March 29, according to police reports. He used binoculars to survey the land but saw no one. He then climbed ashore, leaving behind a Diet Coke and a coconut, took sand samples, and recorded a video, the authorities said.

Vivian Wilson Drags Dad Elon Musk For Claiming Protesters Are Being Paid By Democrats

After billionaire Elon Musk erroneously claimed that massive anti-Trump administration protests around the country have been full of "paid protesters," his estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, underscored the extent of his hypocrisy in a post on Threads.

Millions of people participated in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Saturday, with demonstrations held across all 50 states and around the world. The protests, organized by a pro-democracy movement, were a response to what they describe as a "hostile takeover" and an attack on American rights and freedoms.

Musk Slammed For Criticizing 'Suicidal Empathy' Of SCOTUS Justices Who Ruled In Favor Of Due Process

Once again borrowing from the language of the toxic, insecure, red pill/blue pill, alpha male, incel subcultures that gave rise to public figures like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk attacked the women of the United States Supreme Court for following the rule of law and the United States Constitution instead of showing fealty to Republican President Donald Trump.

In a 4-5 dissent, only the women of SCOTUS decided the core of our justice system—due process—can stop the kinds of mistakes Trump's Department of Homeland Security is making routinely, like ICE abducting and deporting innocent people with visa or green cards to a hellish prison in El Salvador.
