Jelly Roll 'Not Welcomed' to Florida Panhandle After Trump Jabs Congressman Said
Jimmy Patronis said Jelly Roll is not welcome in Florida’s Panhandle after the singer joked about Donald Trump, and Democrat Gay Valimont invited him anyway.
- On Wednesday, Republican Congressman Jimmy Patronis declared musician Jelly Roll "is 100% not welcomed to Florida's panhandle" after the singer made jokes about President Donald Trump while guest-hosting "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
- During his Monday monologue, Jelly Roll joked about President Donald Trump's weight and approval rating, comparing the president's "lap of honor" at an IndyCar race to a loyalty program at a strip club.
- Jelly Roll defended his remarks on Tuesday, suggesting that "any U.S. president should be able to handle a few jokes," while Patronis posted on X that he did not "even want to see his bus on I-10."
- Hours later, Gay Valimont, Patronis' opponent, invited the singer to the Florida Panhandle, stating, "I believe the Panhandle belongs to all of us-- not just politicians like Jimmy Patronis who think they get to decide who's welcome here."
- Previously perceived as a supporter of President Donald Trump, Jelly Roll was seen shaking hands with the politician at a 2024 UFC Event in New York City, marking a notable shift in the musician's public stance.
