If Daughtry actually did refuse to sing another song in honor of D Day then he will win the prick of the month award

Daughtry performed on Friday as part of the “FOX & Friends” “All-American Summer Concert Series.” After he finished his set, the hosts asked if he would stick around to sing a patriotic song with the audience in honor of D-Day. Here’s what happened:

Many viewers saw Daughtry’s reaction as disrespectful and took to Twitter to share their feelings:

@CHRIS_Daughtry went "off the clock" rather than honor veterans on D-Day. Disappointing, hope your fans go off your clock. @ericbolling

Wow. @CHRIS_Daughtry is a dick, or he doesn't know what D Day is. Either way he was rude. Did u not think people would notice? #OffTheClock

So sad to hear @CHRIS_Daughtry refused to sing an impromptu patriotic song in honor of the soldiers that died on D-Day.#GodBlessTheFallen

@CHRIS_Daughtry Real classy walking off stage this morning. And on D-Day. "I'm off the clock" when asked to sing one more song. Asshole

@CHRIS_Daughtry I saw your shameful behavior on Fox and Friends when you walked off the set when asked to sing something on D-Day!
— Jennifer Billis-Gehrke (@jennyrebekah70) June 7, 2014
@CHRIS_Daughtry was a fan until your BS move going off the clock on a patriotic song request for D-Day anniversary. #Daughtry #pathetic

But not everyone agreed:
@scrowder @CHRIS_Daughtry -You are making this way worse than it really was..This is coming from a grandchild of a D Day soldier
— Eric Carlson (@jec7313) June 6, 2014
@scrowder Meh. The crew was obviously joking around, & @CHRIS_Daughtry had already done his set. Don't create drama where there isn't any.

Though viewers may dispute the meaning of Daughtry’s actions, one thing is for sure:

And we are eternally grateful for their bravery. God bless our veterans.
