Once again proving that Trump supporters have thin skin, Fox News reporter John Roberts was forced to put many of them in their place after they attacked him for sharing a photo revealing that President Donald Trump played golf with Kid Rock on Saturday.
The White House apparently refused to say who Trump played golf with at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, but after Kid Rock posted a photo of himself with Trump on the golf course, the mystery was solved. Roberts, who is a Kid Rock fan, shared the post on his Twitter feed and joked that the deputy press secretary “would not divulge” the information.

Almost immediately, snowflake Trump supporters went on the attack and whined about the post, somehow mistaking it as an attack on Trump. Instead of ignoring the hate, the veteran reporter confronted it directly and owned all of them in the process.
Please explain how tweeting that POTUS played golf with Kid Rock is negative? Kid Rock is one of my faves.

Gawd….it was a joke!!!!

Well, you cared enough to tweet that you didn’t care……. https://t.co/Kt4B1ZNnbC

I actually thought it was pretty cool that he was playing golf with Kid Rock. I’m a big Kid Rock fan. And I was making light of the fact that the WH wouldn’t tell us who POTUS was playing with…….and then Kid came out with a big tweet and a photo. https://t.co/BimDp8V3rS

I never reported on Obama playing golf, so it’s a moot point. But I will say, every time I play golf, it’s a national tragedy… https://t.co/XLYmjvsnWB

Hmm….retweeting a Kid Rock tweet that he played golf with POTUS is “not healthy for our country”………uh……you lost me there… https://t.co/vjaT6BPaAo

Here’s the interesting thing. I haven’t posted anything negative. I retweeted a Kid Rock tweet that included the fact the White House wouldn’t say who POTUS played golf with (and I was joking). And I tweeted an accurate timeline of the back and forth over John McCain….. https://t.co/SYGhdrAHaa

…and I tweeted some facts about border apprehensions. While some of those facts contradicted what POTUS has said, there was nothing even remotely negative about the President. We simply live in a world where some people see a statement of the facts as an attack. It’s not.

It’s just the facts.

Sometimes the facts contradict a narrative, but facts are not innately negative. They’re just…….facts….. https://t.co/cUZeGqpWQD

This is a Twitter feed, not a newscast. But I promise never to tell a joke again. https://t.co/gmYGJgGUWv

Bingo! https://t.co/Z756Z9iO0G

Ok…let’s go back over this again. I wasn’t on the air giving a “serious” report. I retweeted a tweet from Kid Rock, and joked that Hogan Gidley wouldn’t tell us who POTUS was playing golf with. I think we’re beginning to lose perspective here….. https://t.co/l1MsmOasZe

Because he is the President of the United States. The leader of the free world. I am not. What he says matters. What I say doesn’t. https://t.co/1i6NMwvaq4

The Canadian defensive trick is to say “sorry”, then cross-check them through the glass… https://t.co/cjVsA0pjpH

Trump playing golf would not be such a big deal had Trump himself not attacked former President Obama for golfing on multiple occasions. Trump also promised on the campaign trial in 2016 that he would be too busy to play golf, which is clearly a lie since he has played more rounds of golf in two years than Obama did in eight.
Furthermore, isn’t there a national emergency that Trump should be attending to?
Clearly, these attacks reveal that Trump supporters will lash out at any innocent tweet about Trump because they see any and every report as “negative” if it isn’t like the propaganda praise that they want to hear. They are truly pathetic.
