KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons defended his right to free speech during an episode of We'll Do It LIVE, stating that he doesn't care what anyone else thinks about him.
Simmons discussed the increasingly polarized state of American politics with host Bill O'Reilly, acknowledging that while he disagrees with many people's opinions about President Donald Trump, he believes in respecting the office and its holder.
Simmons expressed frustration with celebrities who lecture their fans on political issues, saying "shut your pie hole" when asked by O'Reilly what his message to them was.
When questioned about potential job losses due to his outspoken views, Simmons admitted losing some gigs but emphasized that he stands by his beliefs.
Simmons clarified his stance, saying he's a firm believer in border security and the need for a wall, although he supports the previous Pope's views on the matter.
He also spoke out against what he sees as an overly politicized entertainment industry, stating that it will swing like a pendulum between different ideologies.
