Governor Gavin Newsom's press office adopted an all-caps, Trump-style social media trolling approach and posted an AI-generated image of Kid Rock dressed as Uncle Sam with the caption "Kid Rock Wants YOU to Support Gavin Newsom." Newsom's personal account posted an accepting reply. Kid Rock retweeted the image and responded with the line "The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ." The exchange echoed prior uses of AI-generated Uncle Sam images and provocative posts used during a recent presidential campaign. The press office later posted "I HATE KID ROCK !!!" after the interaction.
Newsom's tweet, which features an image of Kid Rock dressed as Uncle Sam with the caption, "Kid Rock Wants YOU to Support Gavin Newsom," and a post accepting the endorsement from Newsom's personal account, was apparently a bridge too far for Rock. In a post responding to the troll, Kid Rock retweeted the image with a caption of his own: "The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ," pulling out one of Donald Trump's favorite nicknames for Governor Newsom.
This string of tweets closely mirrors a Trump post from during his campaign last year, when he happily shared similar AI images of Taylor Swift as Uncle Sam with the caption, "I accept!" Trump pleaded ignorance about the fake images, and Swift later drew his ire by staunchly backing Kamala Harris in the last presidential election. Newsom turned up the parody with another tweet, which simply says "I HATE KID ROCK,"
