Hank Williams Jr. and ESPN parted ways after he compared Obama to Hitler.

He says he was just making an analogy and his former employers stepped "on the toes of freedom of speech."

He told the ladies on "The View", “That night, I told my manager that, ‘You could tell ESPN and Disney, adios’ ... the bottom line folks, Mickey is a mean mouse.

“Disney, ABC and ESPN and me and the opening of ‘Monday Night Football’ are kind of like the Spanish American War, they’re history.”

When asked if he could take it back, he said, “At this point, I really don’t, that golf game, a bunch of politicians … that are out there juking and jiving and high-fiving was so inappropriate with the things that this country is going to, going through, I mean. … It was absurd.”
