MAGA Candidate Kari Lake's Campaign Tries to Troll Dee Snider--and It Backfires Spectacularly

[Ohio Joe]

Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has roasted Arizona MAGA candidate Kari Lake after her campaign repeatedly used his song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” at events. After seeing the song was used at an event, Snider tweeted Thursday that he could not “legally or morally” stop Lake—a gubernatorial candidate who pushed the Big Lie and who considers abortion the “ultimate sin”—from using the song. But the issue boiled over when Lake’s campaign tweeted out the lyrics of Snider’s song in a political ad on Sunday. “HEY IDIOTS!” Snider wrote in reply. “READ THE 1ST LINE: ‘We’ve got the right to CHOOSE!’ This is a PRO-CHOICE anthem you or co-opting. It was NEVER intended for you fascist morons!” He added that he denounced everything Lake stands for. “Remember when you were anti-establishment?” Lake’s campaign replied, sharing a picture of Snider testifying at a 1985 Parents Music Resource Center senate hearing in which he spoke against censorship in music. “Remember when you didn’t read my testimony?” Snider shot back. “I stand for what I have always stood for. Anti right wing, anti fascist, anti asshole. Pretty much your candidate in a nutshell.”

1. Rightwingers just zero-in on the refrain....

And don't pay attention to anything else in the song....

Like, "Born in the USA".

3. Or Y.M.C.A. nt

8. Or the Second Amendment or the part about no establishment of religion.

4. Why doesn't he get a cease and desist order?

Plenty musicians have done that. Heart put a stop to Sarah Palin using Baracuda.

5. Stupid republicans....

they're the Napsters of government. They think everything is theirs to use as they please.

I'd definitely sue them for royalties owed, along with legal and court costs. There's no way they'd lose.

10. He may not own the rights to the song. Many artists don't.

6. How many members of the far right Republican Party even know who Twisted Sister is?

Have they seen the video?

Dee Snider is the antithesis of everything these right wing dildo's stand for.
They should sit down and listen.

7. Mr. Snider should be commended for speaking out

I wasn't a big fan but Twisted Sister was pretty popular and "We're Not Gonna Take It" was very catchy.

I'm glad he's speaking out against the rotten republicans.
