Kid Rock posted two videos on social media on Saturday. Each
shows a helicopter hovering alongside his swimming pool while
the entertainer claps, salutes and raises his fist in the air.
The Nashville skyline can be seen in the background.
“This is a level of respect," Kid Rock posted, that the
"Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and
all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a Democrat who has repeatedly
sparred with the Republican president.
There was no official request to the Army from Kid Rock for the
helicopters to come to his house on Saturday, Maj. Jonathon
Bless, public affairs officer for the 101st Airborne Division,
said on Monday. The division is located at nearby Fort Campbell,
on the Tennessee-Kentucky border, and its helicopters often make
training runs over the Nashville area.
The helicopters also overflew a Nashville “No Kings” protest
against the Trump administration on Saturday, but Bless said the
training run had nothing to do with the protest.
Bless also provided a written statement from the Army.
“Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards,
professionalism, and established flight regulations. An
administrative review is underway to assess the mission and
verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements.
Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found,”
the statement reads.
