Kid Rock worried about his "hometown" an hour away

Kid Rock, a Tennessee resident, went on Fox News to express concern about religious extremism in Dearborn, Michigan. The catch: Dearborn is roughly an hour from where he was actually raised. He called Michigan's Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed a "wolf in sheep's clothing" and fretted about his grandkids potentially fighting a civil war over religious ideology. It's a perfect encapsulation of how Republican media manufactures concern about Muslim communities: find a celebrity, claim deep personal stakes in a place they barely have ties to, and let Fox amplify the anxiety. The specificity of the grievance matters less than the emotional throughline.

The musician also calls Michigan's Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, a "wolf in sheep's clothing," expressing concerns about what he sees as growing ideological divisions.
