Did Kid Rock endorse California Governor Gavin Newsom in mid-August 2025? No, that's not true: The origin of the viral image is satirical. The picture was a parody of Donald Trump's post from the previous year,

This mockery has riled up some on the right, including Fox contributor Tomi Lahren, who said that Newsom has a “team of beta males who sit down to pee.” Many on the right are obsessed with gender roles and believe that accusing a man of not being masculine enough or a woman of not being feminine enough is a deep insult.

By sharing an AI-generated photo of himself getting blessed by MAGA superstars like Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, and the late Hulk Hogan, California Governor Gavin Newsom has sparked uproar.

America's "favorite governor" (many say) has become a master troll, and Trump (tiny hands) and his fans (sad) can't take it.
