On Wednesday evening in the nation’s capital, what Donald Trump has dubbed the “Great American State Fair” began, and one of the first people to perform was Alexis Wilkins, a Nashville-based aspiring country singer who sang the National Anthem.
However, her singing left a lot to be desired, and some who heard it suggested she had “murdered” the “Star Spangled Banner” and done a tremendous dishonor in the process.
Never heard of Wilkins? Well, her main claim to fame is that she’s the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, who is also in way over his head and has been criticized during his tenure as head of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency.
Here’s the video of Wilkins and her caterwauling:

Damn! I’ve heard cats in heat that can screech better than that.
Others on social media were also spectacularly unimpressed with the performance.
This is completely cringe to watch! 😬

I could have lived the rest of my life having never seen her sing anything

I won’t give her the pleasure of me having to unmute the video to hear it.

Too many buttons to press!🥸🤓🥸🤓🥸🤓
She’s a professional singer? A good amateur but there are reasons, starting with her inability to stay in tune, that she hadn’t made it

She is such a "D-Talent." JFC What a hack.

I sing better, disheveled and in agony, on my daily commute to work.

Sounds like someone kicking the shit out of a goat.

One thing’s certain: Ms. Wilkins is still more talented than the douchebag she dates.
