During a performance at the Iowa State Fair, Hank Williams Jr. said, "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!" And the crowd cheered for the country singer and football preparedness enthusiast

The Des Moines Register writes:

Following the song “We Don’t Apologize For America” a chant of “USA, USA” broke out amongst the crowd. Williams smiled, telling the crowd that he was their mouth piece and adding:

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

The cheers that followed were loud and enthusiastic.

When reached for comment Saturday, Brad Anderson with the Obama campaign in Iowa said in an email, "That type of absurd nonsense doesn't really deserve a response."

Williams got himself embroiled in political controversy before when he said of the golf game between President Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner, "That would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu." He eventually apologized, but it cost him the gig singing "Are you ready for some football?" for ESPN.
