Elizabeth Warren on Kid Rock: 'We All Thought Trump Was Joking Too'
Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren commented on a potential Kid Rock senatorial run in 2018, warning that while the rocker's political aspirations might just be a means to promote new music, it would be unwise to dismiss Rock entirely.
"I know a lot of people are thinking: this is some sort of joke, right?" Warren wrote in an email to supporters with the subject line "Senator Kid Rock (R-MI)."
"Well, maybe this is all a joke but we all thought Donald Trump was joking when he rode down the escalator at Trump Tower and announced his campaign, too. And sure, maybe this is just a marketing gimmick for a new album or tour but we all thought Donald Trump was just promoting his reality TV show, too."
On Wednesday, Kid Rock unveiled the website KidRockForSenate.com on Twitter. "I have had a ton of emails and texts asking me if this website is real," he tweeted. "The answer is an absolute YES."
