Carrie Underwood usually keeps her personal and political beliefs close to the chest, but yesterday (8/17) she slipped a bit she liked an anti-mask Tweet from conservative commentator and host of The Matt Walsh Show, Matt Walsh on Twitter.

The reaction and fan backlash have been severe.

In the Tweeted video clip, Walsh said that he believes Covid-19 poses “almost no threat to our kids at all,” and that a mask mandate should be seen as “child abuse.” He went on to criticize the school board for “teaching them that the air is toxic, that everyone around them is sick.”

Of course, not everyone had an issue with Underwood liking the video.

Walsh commented about the backlash himself tweeting:

Carrie has yet to address the issue publically.
