HE’S made some pretty offensive comments about Barack Obama and called Hillary Clinton a “devilb****” among other things.

Yet despite controversial rocker Ted Nugent calling for the decapitation of Democrats, Donald Trump welcomed him to the White House with open arms.

The President hosted former Alaska governor Sarah Palin at a White House dinner along with Nugent and fellow rocker Kid Rock.

In one picture, the trio of guests can even be seen mocking Ms Clinton in front of a portrait taken of her when she was First Lady.

However, this pales in comparison to other things Nugent has said and done in the past.

During a concert last August he asked the crowd why Mrs Clinton wasn’t behind bars calling her “one toxic ***. Now why isn’t that *** in jail?” he said.

And in 2007 he made some equally offensive comments about Mr Obama,The Atlanticreported.

“Obama, he’s a piece of ***. I told him to suck on my machinegun. Hey Hillary [Clinton], you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless *****.”

However according to the White House, the Wednesday dinner was not on the President’s public schedule and was a private matter.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on the other hand was much more open about her time in the Oval Office and revealed she brought the musicians because Mr Trump told her to bring some friends.

She posted photos on social media and her website, showing the group with Mr Trump, and also posing in front of a painting of Hillary Clinton in the White House.

Ms Palin also said the “dinner was beyond superb” and thanked “the outstanding White House staff, chefs, Secret Service, and of course the President for making it such a special evening.”

Nugent, also posted about meeting the President in a Facebook post where he boasted about dining with the President.
