Yesterday, noted glass dildo collector and Trump supporter Kid Rock announced that he was running for Senate by launching a website selling a bunch of Kid Rock For Senate merch. The whole thing seemed more like a publicity stunt than an actual political campaign, especially considering the site is hosted by Warner Bros. Records and Kid Rock has yet to file any paperwork to run against Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow next year. But in a new blog post on his website, Kid Rock insists that yes, he is in fact running for Senate, thank you very much:

Once again the press is wrong. First of all, I’ve got 15 days from my announcement to file paperwork with the FEC! Second, I’m not signed to Warner Bros!!! – which simple fact-checking would have revealed. I have recently worked out a unique deal with BMG, Broken Bow, CAA and Live Nation to release music ON MY TERMS. Like politicians write books during their campaigns, I’m planning on putting out music during mine and IT ALL STARTS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT. It’s not a hoax, it’s a strategy and marketing 101! No plans for an album or anything else that has been the usual norm in the music business OR politics…..and…..

Senator Stabenow and I do share a love of music, although probably not the same kind. I concede she is better at playing politics than I am so I’ll keep doing what I do best, which is being a voice for tax paying, hardworking AMERICANS and letting politicians like her know that We the People are sick and tired of their bullshit!
