Besides being a longshot Republican vying for Florida’s deep blue 14th Congressional District, Christine Quinn is also a dancer in a new music video from MAGA rapper Forgiato Blow.
The video for “Trump Train,” an apparent play on a ‘90s classic from Quad City DJs, debuted late week, and Quinn shared a clip of her prominent cameo to her Instagram account Sunday night.
A near perfect real life embodiment of the Steve Buscemi “How do you do, fellow kids?” meme, the rap video shows a handful of mostly Boomers sporting Trump and Quinn gear and dancing in front of a Trumpified semi-truck.
Quinn has openly complained that the Florida GOP has not supported her campaign. Though, it’s important to note that this November will be the second time Quinn will face off with Democratic opponent Kathy Castor, who won in 2016 with more than 62% of the vote.
However, lately it seems Quinn is heavily focusing her campaign on the local MAGA rap scene. Forgiato Blow recently performed at a Quinn fundraiser at Ybor’s Zydeco Brew Werks, alongside a handful of other Trump-loving rappers.
In a social media post from Quinn, which also featured multiple QAnon hashtags, the event appeared mostly empty.
Florida's 14th Congressional District covers the City of Tampa and all of Hillsborough County.
