Now that Kimberly Guilfoyle and Don Jr. broken up (With Trump Exiling her to Greece As his new ambassador) Maga needs romance. On Tuesday since six matched Previous reporting from TMZ The Colorado congregant Lauren Boebert was seen with Kid Rock during preliminary parties for President Trump – and claims the couple Leave a party together at. 02:30. While Page six was unable to confirm any relationship with Boebert’s staff (“I think we will pass,” her spokesman told the column), that kind of checks out – Boebert is after all such a fan of white rappers from Detroit that what she once composed A rap tribute to eminem. (As for reports that Kid Rock is engaged with another? There are options – the United States currently has no ambassador in Tanzania, for example.)

Washingtonian Records the idea of ​​this potential mating so much that we drafted six reasons why they would be the perfect power couple for this era in DC.

They are hot in regionally specific ways

Boebert is a smoking show to the standards of the official Washington. Few of her contemporaries at Capitol Hill could pull one Trampling that covers a quarter of their body or one Drop bone casings. In the 25 plus years ago Devil for no causeKid Rock has beaten his Detroit Dirtbag -style: he wore one Backward Fedora to the White House and shook an american flag poncho When he played the Super Bowl.

They can become crunk while their grandchildren are playing

AWW! Boebert (38) and Kid Rock (54) are both super young grandparents. Boebert has a grandson and Kid Rock’s grandson is about ten years old. It works well. The kids can play together while the grandparents pass the evening “to try different things” and “smoke funny things” and “sing cute home alabama all summer,” or whatever else kid Rock likes to do on dates.

They are both in the art

In September 2023 Boebert describes – if campaign manager her as a “supporter of performing arts” – was escorted out of a denver -performance of Beetlejuice: The Musical After supposedly “causing a disturbance.” Her campaign originally told Denver post that she just had “Enthusiastic distress“The performance – but enthusiastic joy, as depicted in one Leaked surveillance videoseemed to include blowing vape -clouds in the air, dancing in his seat, taking pictures (despite being asked not to) and engaging in behavior that Politico described Like “Boebert and her male companion fuck each other sexually during the show.” When security showed her from the theater allegedly Boebert tilted an injection. It was great advertising for the tournament production!

And Kid Rock? The rapper likes to give out Low price concert tickets To make his shows more accessible.

They share unlikely political ambitions

Despite (or perhaps because of?) Her fierce political antique, wild quotes and occasional scandals, Boebert won a couple of upset victories in her purple district in Colorado. (At the end of 2023, however, she left this district to run in a more Republican-Tung one On the other side of the state.) In the meantime, Kid Rock Teased a Senate race in 2017using its concert stages to develop what Detroit Free Press called A “theatrical, rhyming, gang-filled stump speech of kind” that is filled with the dismantling of “deathbeat-father” and single mothers who can’t stop having children and athletes taking a knee under national anthem and Kkk. He also floated greater ambitions and rap-announcing to a crowd: “If ‘Kid Rock for Senate’ has got people in disarray / wait ‘until they hear’ Kid Rock to President of the United States’!” (Later, after the federal election commission received a complaint That the rapper had failed to register as a candidate or report contributions, Kid Rock claimed it was all a stunt to promote his album)

They each have owned a right -wing restaurant

Before her midlife career was about Congress, Lauren Boebert owned a restaurant with firearms in the city – this is literally true – Rifle, Colorado. On Shooters barbecueYou could hunt tequila shot with a “Swiss & Wesson” burger or some “locked n ‘loaded” nachos. The staff were allegedly encouraged to open carrier guns at work. And it is kism that Kid Rock is also a restaurateur. He is the proprietor of the Nashville company Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘N’ Roll SteakhouseKnown for remains open in contravention of covid restrictions And to have the stage on which Kid Rock was once intoxicated, suggested Oprah performed a anatomically unclear action.

They can both be… Spirity in public

Remember when Boebert Heckled Joe Biden while He was talking about his son’s death? Or kid Rock’s Fight in a waffle house? Would it be responsible to put so much Trump 2 -energy in one place ??? Definitely not why we are here for it.
