Yes, yes he did. On “The Voice” Tuesday night, a hot mic picked up coach Adam Levine saying, “I hate this country,” as one member of Team Adam advanced and two others were voted off the show.
Did @AdamLevine SERIOUSLY just say "I hate this country?" on live tv?! #TheVoice Nobody likes a poor sport.. Grow up! @NBCTheVoice #TeamDick

Since @adamlevine "Hates this country" I think @NBCTheVoice needs to replace him as a judge. [VIDEO] http://t.co/YqXIXNX6DH

Just heard Adam Levine say "I hate this country" on The Voice. No one is keeping you here, Adam.

Oh boy Adam Levine just said " I hate this country" at the end of the Voice… I sense an apology forthcoming…

Apology? That’s not really Levine’s style.
The Obama superfan and Maroon 5 singer tweeted four dictionary definitions: joke, humorless, lighthearted and misunderstand. Translation: You guys are idjits and I’m not apologizing. Typical douche move.

Classless, kind of like the time Levine insisted it was cool for him to be an anti-Mormon bigot because Mormons are bigots.

Update:
Levine’s now blaming “frustration” for his douchiness.
His official statement, via Entertainment Weekly:
“I obviously love my country very much and my comments last night were made purely out of frustration. Being a part of The Voice, I am passionately invested in my team and want to see my artists succeed. Last night’s elimination of Judith and Sarah was confusing and downright emotional for me and my comments were made based on my personal dissatisfaction with the results. I am very connected to my artists and know they have long careers ahead, regardless of their outcome on the show.”
We await his forthcoming apologies to all the “humorless” people he insulted.
