🐎Let Me See Ya Do the Rodeo🏅
So apparently Lauren Boebert and Kid Rock are a thing now? Or maybe not? Or maybe they are but with campaign funds? Honestly, at this point, nothing about American politics surprises anyone anymore, but this pairing somehow manages to feel both inevitable and absolutely unhinged.
The drama kicked off when the Colorado congresswoman and the MAGA rocker were spotted climbing into a cab together at 2:30 a.m. after Trump's inauguration party in February. Sources say Boebert was completely fixated on the rock star, chatting away and doing little dances like she had front-row seats. Mom and daughter are apparently big fans, so basically this was peak fangirl behavior with a side of political networking.
But here's where it gets spicy: federal records show Boebert's campaign dropped nearly $3,400 on tickets and a four-star hotel stay when she attended Kid Rock's rodeo concert event in Texas back in May. She even posted cozy photos with him in matching cowboy hats with the caption about making America great again. The problem? Federal law says you can't use campaign cash for personal use, and Democratic challengers are now pointing out that flying around to rock concerts isn't exactly, "passing solutions to lower costs."
The timing is juicy too. About a month after that late-night cab ride, Kid Rock ended his seven-year engagement to Audrey Berry. Coincidence? The internet certainly doesn't think so. Meanwhile, Boebert's office has refused to comment on the dating rumors, which in gossip-speak basically means, "yeah, probably."
Kid Rock has essentially become the new Ted Nugent of MAGA world, showing up everywhere from the Oval Office in outrageous outfits to pitching himself for Trump's inaugural concert. He's been married to Pamela Anderson, shot up cases of Bud Light over trans representation, and has now apparently wooed a congresswoman who once grilled officials about underwater alien bases.
As for other countries having scandals like this? Sure, they've got their share of political drama, but there's something uniquely American about a sitting member of Congress potentially violating campaign finance laws to rodeo-date a rock star who became famous for Bawitdaba while both wearing patriotic cowboy gear. That's stars-and-stripes chaos at its finest.
