Kash Patel's girlfriend drew a torrent of mockery online after singing the national anthem at President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair on Wednesday night, with one viewer asking police to investigate a "murder" of the Star-Spangled Banner.
Alexis Wilkins, 27, a Nashville-based aspiring country singer who began dating the 46-year-old FBI director in early 2023, performed the anthem before a sparse crowd on the National Mall, according to The Daily Beast. She announced the gig just one day before the event, and her top track on Spotify has about 520,000 streams, per Newsweek.
The crowd on the ground wasn't exactly buzzing.
"Oh, no… country music?" one attendee told CNN when asked if she was looking forward to the set. "Well, I think the Army band, and the choirs, they're gonna be really good," the woman added.
Online, the verdict was harsher. "She sounds like A DEAD CAT!!!!!" one commenter wrote, according to the. "Hello, D.C. police. I'd like to report a murder," another posted. "Yes, someone has viciously murdered the national anthem."
A fifth commenter invoked the lip-sync duo that bailed on the fair days earlier: "Wasn't Milli Vanilli available?" Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan told CNN on June 1 that he was withdrawing because the event had "turned into a circus."
