Many fans of Martha Stewart were outraged after she shared photos of herself getting chummy with controversial musician Kid Rock at the 2024 Kentucky Derby.

Kid Rock is an outspoken fan of Donald Trump whose most recent songs are "patriotic" tunes about loving God and hating everything "woke" and the usual right-wing MAGA pablum.

For many fans of the lifestyle guru, that was a toxic combination they weren't about to tolerate.

Stewart posted a series of photos to Instagram from her day at the Derby with some jockeys and fellow attendees, like singer Josh Groban, but the Kid Rock photo was the one that most caused a stir.

The comments on the post quickly filled with fans angry that Stewart would take a photo with someone so incendiary.

Kid Rock has been criticized for using homophobic slurs and Confederate flags in his stage shows, along with his outspoken MAGA views, and several Instagram users called these incidents out in their angry comments directed at Stewart.

A few celebrated the photo, however, applauding Stewart for "triggering the libs"—as if they wouldn't have a collective meltdown if Donald Trump were to take a picture with, say, Rachel Maddow.

Others called out liberal commenters for trying to dictate who a person can and cannot associate with at an event, calling it un-American.

But the supportive comments seemed to be vastly outnumbered by those who were upset by the photo.

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
