Luke Bryan responded to a wave of criticism he’s received for warmly welcoming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to his stage

on Twitter of the two appearing to have a good time on stage together. He wrote, “Thanks for letting me crash the party last night, @lukebryan!”

Bryan released a statement on Sunday defending his decision to have DeSantis join him at the show. He noted that “this felt right” as part of an effort to help raise awareness and money for people impacted by Hurricane Ian in Florida. The singer had“I typically don’t respond to stuff when I’m getting run down on a social platform but here’s the deal. I understand Governor Desantis is a very polarizing figure,” Bryan wrote on social media Sunday afternoon .

He closed the note by writing, “This is all I am saying about this. I’ll be outdoors with my boys. Enjoy your Sunday.” “Your greeting of DeSantis on stage certainly appeared to be more than wanting to help Hurricane victims. It looked like a full endorsement of DeSantis – DeSantis is worse than polarizing,” one personon Bryan’s post. It was one of the top comments of more than 13,000, a significant uptick from the usual amount of comments seen on the singer’s tweets.

“So, it’s impossible to support victims of a hurricane while also supporting the LGBTQ community?” another

He doesn't have to defend anything really. He is a performer.

Are they only 'polarizing' when they're a Republican?

Democrats are so desperate because you have nothing. 🤣🤣

Jews are trying to criminalize Christianity...

Dave Matthews was on stage with Fedderman.

Anyone that is upset about DeSantis being invited wouldn’t be buying his music in the first place so why would he care? Does Bruce Springsteen have to defend having done concerts for ‘polarizing figure’ Barack Obama? Or James Taylor for Biden? Nothing burger story

The left is losing control of the culture narrative... Huge pendulum swing inbound.... Authoritarians can rot in hell for all I care!

If disaster relief was his goal he could’ve done that w/o DeSantis, who was passing out campaign merch, is currently under investigation for trafficking and has Nazis canvassing for him. Plus he’s sitting on a $20B surplus thx to Biden, so his wife’s “relief fund” is a grift.

It’s a concert/fundraiser for victims of the hurricane 🤨. It’s entirely appropriate to have the governor there 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

What's polarizing is all the douche bag celebrities who are Socialist

When you ask Willie Nelson to defend himself for campaigning for BETO and Hillary Clinton, then you might have a little credibility.

Blah Blah Blah Luke... Nope

Charlie Manson was polarizing too. Want to defend the wrong side of that story as well?

How come folks never bring up his makeover on TFG's show? I've wondered about that.....

Boycotting anything to do with Luke Bryan.

Yessss!

No, he didn’t. He’s not a coward and doesn’t need to explain his choices in life to anyone.

Lol. people butt hurt about what happened at a country concert. Get over yourself.

Yep that tells me lukebryan is anti trans, anti gay, anti CRT, anti Immigrant etc..

Fuck. That.

Lol why is stage capitalized. That’s the least wrong thing here but it’s still funny.

What BS. If Luke Bryan wanted to raise money for hurricane victims he could have done it without an electioneering DeSantis.

🤷‍♂️

Defend it all you want…showing who you support tells people what they need to know.

The harassment could be inspiration for his next tune: 'Y'all FRO'

Luke did the right thing

Stop with the politics. You’re an entertainment rag.

Support fascists, get shit. Too bad, so sad.

Anyone criticizing him for his support of the fundraising efforts has a very cold and dark heart.
