Kid Rock Says Celebrities Shouldn't Endorse Politicians

Kid Rock won't be discussing who he plans to back at the next US election, as he feels celebrities should keep their mouth shut when it comes to politics.

"I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians," Kid Rock told CMT Insider. "As soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, 'I'm voting for this guy!' - I go, 'That's not who I'm voting for!'"

"I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics because at the end of the day, I'm good at writing songs and singing."

"What I'm not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for - I think would be very irresponsible on my part."

Unlike Rock, many celebrities have been vocal about who they are supporting.
