Overview
- Newsom’s official press office on X declared Kid Rock “officially banned” and mocked “working out in jeans,” calling the workout clip “inappropriate” and “very low energy.”
- The 90‑second Make America Healthy Again video, posted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and reshared by HHS as “BawitMAHA,” shows Kennedy and Kid Rock shirtless doing exercises, including pushups in a sauna, with Kennedy wearing jeans.
- The footage drew widespread mockery on social media, with panelists on Fox News’ The Five questioning the visuals and tone.
- Kid Rock defended the message, saying Americans should come together around food and being healthy.
- A legal expert described the “ban” as satire with no legal effect, as reporting also noted Kid Rock’s Rock the Country festival recently canceled a South Carolina stop after artist withdrawals.
