Kid Rock is showing that he is ready to capture the spirit of the age and be Trump’s best and most foul-mouthed supporter in the Senate.
Kid Rock, who has been tossing around the idea of a U.S. Senate run since July, fired back in his own colorful way Friday against a Washington-based watchdog group that claimed he was in violation of campaign finance law.
“Go f— yourself,” the rocker said.
The watchdog group, Common Cause, filed a complaint with U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Election Commission, arguing that the singer, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, is an official candidate because he has been selling “Kid Rock for Senate” merchandise and teasing the idea of a Senate run for months.
But they say he’s still breaking the law.
“Regardless of whether Kid Rock says he’s only exploring candidacy, he’s selling ‘Kid Rock for Senate’ merchandise and is a candidate under the law. This is campaign finance law 101,” Paul Seamus Ryan, vice president for policy and litigation at the watchdog group, told the Hill.
This seems like one of those things that is technically true but no one is going to care about. Are they telling me that Alf was breaking the law when I bought his “Alf for President” underoos as a kid?! I knew that cat-munching alien was up to no good…
