In a deeply unsettling event, an assassination attempt targeted former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attack, which occurred on July 13, prompted a fervent reaction from musician Kid Rock, a known supporter of Trump. Taking to social media, Kid Rock vehemently expressed his anger in a video where he stated, “You mess with Trump, you mess with me,” showcasing his solidarity with the former president.
The rally, held at the Butler Farm Show, was abruptly disrupted when shots were fired from a nearby rooftop, instantly drawing a swift response from the Secret Service. The assailant, identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was neutralized at the scene. Despite the chaos, Trump sustained a minor injury, with a bullet grazing his ear, an event he later described on Truth Social, highlighting his resilience by saluting the crowd even as he was escorted away.
This incident not only shocked attendees but also prompted Kid Rock to advocate further by sharing a fundraising initiative on X (formerly Twitter), aimed at supporting the victims of the attack. The campaign swiftly gathered nearly $900,000, reflecting widespread support.
Throughout his career, Kid Rock has not shied away from his political alignments, often seen engaging with Trump at various events and even visiting him at the White House in 2017. His reaction to the attack reiterates his strong political stance and personal connection to Trump, whom he once described as “one of my besties.”
The incident has ignited a wave of reactions across the music industry, with figures like 50 Cent and John Rich expressing their shock and concern. This event marks a significant moment in American politics, stirring discussions about the safety of public figures and the implications of such violent acts.
