Hegseth Rewarded Kid Rock's Apache Enthusiasm With Joyride
"Kid Rock posted a viral video of himself standing by his pool saluting two U.S. Army Apache helicopters that were hovering next to his home in Tennessee, which quickly prompted an Army investigation and suspensions for the pilots."
"Joined my friend @KidRock - and some of our great @USArmy Apache pilots - for a ride this morning. Kid Rock is a patriot and huge supporter of our troops."
"Last week, in a video Kid Rock posted to promote his upcoming Freedom 250 Tour, he said he might be 'coming to each show in an Apache helicopter, which should send far-left liberals into complete breakdown and tears.'"
"Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement that 'Robert 'Kid Rock' Ritchie participated in multiple troop touches with service members and filmed videos for Memorial Day, America's 250th birthday, and for his Freedom 250 tour.'"
Pete Hegseth arranged for Kid Rock to ride in an AH-64 Apache helicopter, following a viral video of Kid Rock saluting Army helicopters. This prompted an Army investigation into the pilots' actions. Hegseth canceled the suspensions and celebrated Kid Rock's patriotism. Kid Rock hinted at using an Apache for his Freedom 250 Tour, aiming to provoke reactions from liberals. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed Kid Rock's involvement with service members and filming for Memorial Day and America's 250th birthday.
