The patriotic country music star says he plans to sing at President-elect Trump's "Make America Great Again Welcome Celebration" on Jan. 19th.

His decision is sure to offend social justice warriors—but Toby Keith does not care.

"I don't apologize for performing for our country or military," Keith said in a statement provided to Fox News. "I performed at events for previous presidents Bush and Obama and over 200 shows in Iraq and Afghanistan for the USO."

His comments came one day after Tony Award-winner Jennifer Holliday backed out of the inauguration event.

Holliday was bullied by a mean-spirited bunch of intolerant lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, gender neutral, non-binary, gender fluid fans.

She begged her homosexual fans to have mercy on her in a letter she penned.

"I sincerely apologize for my lapse of judgment, for being uneducated on the issues that affect every American at this crucial time in history and for causing such dismay and heartbreak for my fans," she wrote in a letter provided to The Wrap.

Thank goodness for performers like Toby Keith—men who rise above petty politics and do what's right for the red, white and blue.

God bless you, Toby!
