Nick Offerman Slams ‘Putin Wannabe’ Donald Trump in Song Parody for ‘Kamala-Curious’ Republicans
Nick Offerman makes his stance on the 2024 presidential election pretty clear in a new musical parody video, which the Parks and Recreation star dropped Tuesday (Aug. 27) to declare his support for Kamala Harris while raking Donald Trump over the coals.
The clip opens with Offerman plainly endorsing the Democratic nominee’s White House bid, telling the camera, “I’m very enthusiastic to be supporting the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.”

“For obvious reasons, there are a lot of Republicans that are very Kamala-curious,” he continues, wearing a T-shirt with a bald eagle on it. “Let me offer you a song that’s from the point of view of one of these Republicans, one of these good citizens, who formerly was blinded by misinformation and has now found a way to see clear to decency.”
The Civil War actor goes on to sing his own original lyrics set to the tune of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” which reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001. “I’m proud to be a Kamala man, who’s quit the GOP/ I just can’t stick with the man convicted of 34 felonies,” he belts over unflattering clips of Trump. “It’s time to stand up and face the facts after all the scams and tricks. He’s a half-a–ed Putin wannabe, yes, Trump’s a f—ing di–.”
Sharing the video on social media, Offerman also encouraged followers to donate to the cause. “Join me in goosing the joy and positivity of the Harris-Walz campaign with any filthy lucre you can spare,” he wrote, including a link to the Democrats’ website.
Offerman is just the latest star to endorse Harris, who took over the Democratic ticket after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July. At this month’s Democratic National Convention alone, Pink, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Lil Jon all delivered performances in support of the former attorney, while Ariana Grande, Barbra Streisand, Carole King, Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Thee Stallion and dozens more have also spoken up in Harris’ favor.
