A man who helped stop the Waffle House shooter stepped into the role as grand marshal for the Nashville Christmas Parade as a last-minute replacement Saturday for Kid Rock, who got the boot for his comments about Joy Behar. Kid Rock used an expletive to describe Joy Behar during an interview Friday on Fox & Friends. He did the interview from his bar in Nashville, where he swigged bourbon while tending bar on camera and said he had been drinking coffee and Irish cream liqueur.
Multiple Fox & Friends personalities apologized on air afterward. Kid Rock apologized for the language but “not the sentiment.” Joy Behar, a host on The View, is a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, while Kid Rock is a Trump supporter.
Several parade organizers announced Friday evening that the parade would no longer feature Kid Rock, who had volunteered to be the grand marshal.
Proceeds from the parade are going to the Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.
