"Hank Williams Jr will appear on The View to address the controversy over his apparent comparison of Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. The country singer made the much-criticized comments while discussing Obama&amp;#039;s recent golf game with Speaker of the House John Boehner during an appearance on Fox &amp;amp; Friends last Monday.  He likened the game to &amp;quot;Hitler playing golf with [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu&amp;quot;. Williams later claimed his remarks were misunderstood, but the media firestorm led ESPN to axe his song &amp;#039;All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight&amp;#039; as the theme tune for Monday Night Football.  The musician has announced that he&amp;#039;ll open up about the controversy during an interview on The View on Tuesday. Williams said he&amp;#039;d agreed to appear on The View in part because hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar had defended his comments. &amp;quot;Whoopi and Joy understood what I was saying. After watching the clip of their show, I knew I needed to talk to them first,&amp;quot; Williams wrote on his website. &amp;quot;Who knows Whoopi may run for President and I&amp;#039;ll be her Vice President\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 now that will really stir it up!&amp;quot; The star will also tape an interview with conservative pundit Sean Hannity to air on Fox News on Tuesday evening. In addition to his television appearances, Williams will release a new song about the scandal called &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ll Keep My ...&amp;#039; later this week. Watch Hank Williams perform &amp;#039;All My Rowdy Friends&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
