Rock Legend and KISS Frontman Gene Simmons Tells Bill O’Reilly He’s Been Punished Professionally for Refusing to Badmouth President Trump (VIDEO)

Gene Simmons of KISS is one of the most recognizable faces in rock and roll, even when he is wearing sunglasses. He is also a supporter of President Trump.

During a recent interview with Bill O’Reilly, Simmons described losing work for refusing to badmouth Trump.

Simmons makes the point that even if people don’t like Trump, they should still respect the office of the President of the United States. This is a point that seems lost on Democrats whenever a Republican is in office.

From Overton News:

O’REILLY: “Can you tell us how you got iced on occasion?”

SIMMONS: “There were maybe two or three shows where somebody asked me on camera, locally as I’m doing interviews, what do you think of the president?”

“And I said I don’t have any problem getting the Kennedy Center awards at all. He’s the president of these United States and he was legally voted into power.”

“And if you don’t like the man, you can at least respect the presidency.”

“This idea of just banding about Trump this and Trump that… No! It’s President Trump.”

“Just like a doctor, I don’t like my doctor but he’s a doctor. Dr. so and so.”

“And that was not a popular sentiment.”

O’REILLY: “Did anybody confront you on it?”

SIMMONS: “Yes, I lost those two or three shows.”

It’s so refreshing to hear a celebrity entertainer speak in this way because it’s so rare.

Most celebs fall all over themselves to prove how far left they are.
