Hilary Duff's Husband Slams Candace Cameron Bure in TikTok Video
The only way this situation gets any more embarrassing is if Bruce Springsteen responds.
Candace Cameron Bure has not had a fun time on TikTok these last two weeks.
First, Jojo Siwa called the star out for being the "rudest" celebrity she has ever met. Now, Hilary Duff's husband (indie rocker Matthew Koma) has used the video sharing app against the Full House actress after she shared a video of her rocking out to Bruce Springsteen's Born In The U.S.A.
In the video, which was originally posted on July 4, Bure can be seen donning red, white, and blue everything. The star is decked out in a patriotic headband, a light-up star necklace, an American flag-printed shoelace belt, denim shorts, and a red shirt with "God Bless America" printed across the chest.
While her fashion choice is a bit questionable, that's not the problem Koma had with the video posted by the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries actress.
"Yeah, the song you're playing? It's about veterans coming home from Vietnam and being treated like sh**. Yeah, it's not about, it's not the Fourth of July," Koma said very matter-of-fact before he ended the video with a sarcastic chuckle.

Bure has made her political views very public over the last few years, pegged as the conservative opponent for her democrat colleagues during her tenure on The View. In 2021, Bure told the Behind-The-Table podcast that the "pressure to represent conservatives on TV" and defend her opinion became too difficult to manage and ultimately, is why she left the show.
Since her departure, she has continued to face backlash on social media from fans who don't agree with the star's opinions.
However, Koma's response to Bure's video wasn't just an ordinary case of opinionated disagreement. While Koma surely roasted Bure to a crisp online, what he had to say is related to the argument fans of the original singer/songwriter have had to make for the past 38 years.
While those familiar with the iconic tune–but not the artist behind it–may think nothing of Bure's usage of it given the song's title and its anthemic beat, this is a battle "The Boss" has faced since his song became a hit.
According to NPR, shortly after Born In The U.S.A. was released in 1984, then-President Ronald Regan referenced the New Jersey-born rocker and his latest hit in a campaign speech.
"America's future rests in a thousand dreams inside your hearts. It rests in the message of hope in songs of a man so many young Americans admire, New Jersey's own Bruce Springsteen. And helping you make those dreams come true is what this job of mine is all about," he said, according to the report.
After a shout-out from the President, Springsteen's career was subsequently fast-tracked to legendary status. As the musician rose to mainstream stardom, he was tasked with establishing the correct interpretation of the song.
As the report states, Springsteen was no fan of the then-President's co-opted usage of the song and was quoted at a 1995 concert saying this: "After it came out, I read all over the place that nobody knew what it was about. I'm sure that everybody here tonight understood it. If not — if there were any misunderstandings out there — my mother thanks you, my father thanks you and my children thank you, because I've learned that that's where the money is."
"But the songwriter always gets another shot to get it right," he said before performing Born In The U.S.A.
By the looks of it, Mr. Springsteen, Bure just gave you yet another shot to once again set the record straight.
