Alec Baldwin took to Twitter Tuesday to bash Hank Williams Jr., the country singer who has repeatedly made incendiary comments about President Obama.
At a concert on Sunday, Williams Jr. again ranted against Obama, who he described as a Muslim "who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays." He also repeated an earlier rallying cry: "We hate him!" His comments were reportedly met with loud cheers.

I know he's gotta cringe everytime his poor brother Stephen gets up there and makes a complete idiot of himself.
