Ted Nugent Encourages Trump Rally Crowd To Go 'Berserk On The Skulls Of The Democrats'

Musician Ted Nugent encouraged a crowd of former Republican President Donald Trump's supporters to go "berserk on the skulls of the Democrats," a suggestion that prompted many to condemn him for calling for violence.

Nugent made his remarks during a rally Trump held as part of his “American Freedom Tour” in Austin, Texas on Saturday, May 14. At the time, an estimated 8,000 people were present at the rally.


Speaking on stage, he promoted conspiracies about the integrity of the 2020 general election, regurgitating many of the lies that prompted Trump's supporters to attack the United States Capitol in January 2021 on the false premise that the election had been stolen. That MAGA act of violence resulted in 5 deaths, over 100 law enforcement injuries and millions of dollars in damages.

You can hear what Nugent said in the video below.

Nugent urged his audience to "think about what the enemies of America have done in the last 14 months," adding:

"They didn’t sneak into the White House — they lied, they cheated, they scammed, and every day the Democrats violate their sacred oath to the Constitution."
"And if you can’t impress your friends on that, they shouldn’t be your friends."
“So I love you people madly but I’d love you more if you went forward and just went berserk on the skulls of the Democrats and the Marxists and the Communists.”

Although Nugent's remarks received loud cheers from rally attendees, many who've listened to video clips of him speaking at the event have condemned him and accused him of promoting violence.



Nugent has long been a fixture at Trump rallies and counts himself among the former President's more devoted followers. He has made statements critical of former Democratic President Barack Obama that were perceived as threatening and that led to him being the subject of an investigation by the Secret Service.

Although he initially supported Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz during the 2016 primaries, he eventually switched his allegiances and endorsed Trump, whom he visited at the White House when Trump was in the executive office.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
