BREAKING: Washed-up MAGA rapper Kid Rock gets caught in a massive scandal as his Nashville restaurant temporarily closes to avoid ICE raids targeting his undocumented workers.
The hypocrisy is almost too much to bear...
According to The Guardian, "Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse" which is licensed by the so-called musician, sent undocumented kitchen staff home over the weekend due to rumors of pending immigration raids.
The lack of staff then made it difficult for the restaurant to provide adequate service to the crowds that arrived post-concert on Saturday night.
"Around 9.30pm on Saturday, our manager came back and told anyone without legal status to go home," one anonymous employee told The Nashville Scene.
"Events at the Ryman, Ascend, the Savannah Bananas’ baseball game all let out, and it was crazy busy. But there was no one in the kitchen to cook the food," they added.
ICE agents carried out a wide-ranging operation in south Nashville on Saturday and stopped drivers with the assistance of Tennessee Highway Patrol. According to ICE, some 196 people were apprehended. Given the agency's dubious reputation and aversion to due process, we should not presume that all — or even any — of the people apprehended were undocumented.
In fact, a press release from the Department of Homeland Security admitted that at least 101 of the individuals who were apprehended have no criminal history.
Kid Rock has ranted in the past about "open borders" and smeared migrants as "murderers" and "rapists" and "MS-13."
The fact that his restaurant employs undocumented workers despite his outspoken support of Donald Trump's anti-migrant administration shouldn't come as a surprise. The conservative movement is defined by hypocrisy. These people have no problem using underpaid undocumented workers to keep their businesses afloat while demonizing those very same workers.
MAGA means laws are for other people.
