Gene Simmons has ended January with a nice Twitter fight with people over Donald Trump and the recent U.S. Presidential election.
As per Blabbermouth, the KISS icon has been involved in a spat with Twitter users over the controversial recent U.S. Presidential election. Joe Biden correctly triumphed over Trump but the outgoing President claimed that Biden’s victory was due to election fraud.
Not on Simmons’ watch. He used his Twitter platform to fight against the baseless allegations of voter fraud, saying “60 courts in various states dismissed ALL allegations of a rigged election.”
60 courts in various states and 60 Judges (including Pres Trump appointed Judges) UNANIMOUSLY, and without exception, dismissed ALL allegations of a rigged election..and that Includes Trump appointed US Attorney General Bill Barr!!! https://t.co/lMv8p2bNJx

It started when the bassist shared an article on Twitter about Goya’s board of directors silencing its own CEO over his unfounded claims of voter fraud. It then all escalated from there.
One user asked Simmons, “Isn’t it possible the election was rigged?”, to which the rocker replied, “60 courts in various states and 60 Judges (including Pres Trump appointed Judges) UNANIMOUSLY, and without exception, dismissed ALL allegations of a rigged election..and that Includes Trump appointed US Attorney General Bill Barr!!!”

Another user quickly jumped in, saying “Cases were dismissed on standing not evidence” but Simmons had another clear answer for that: “That’s correct. And what that means, (I have asked 2 law professors) is that a court 1st takes a look at the merits & if they seem far-fetched or bluntly speaking, idiotic, they dismiss it outright. Do your research. You will appear much more informed than this tweet.”

Simmons ended it with a simple message: “Again, I urge you to do research. You will appear much more informed than this tweet.”
NC, you are misinformed, again…Many of the judges were appointed by former President Trump. Again, I urge you to do research. You will appear much more informed than this tweet. https://t.co/VrmDulDLHE

His stance shows just how much change can occur in someone’s opinion in a few short years. Before the 2016 election, Simmons told People magazine that he liked how Trump was shaking up the presidential race.
“The important thing about Trump, and I’m not saying whether I’m voting for him, or Hilary (Clinton), or anybody else, is that he has changed the game,” Simmons said then. “He does’t want your money. This guy funds his own campaign, and he is going to say things that tens of millions of people actually say quietly because politically it’s ‘incorrect’.”
And doesn’t it strike you as odd that President Trump appointed Judges completely dismissed all attempts question the election. In all states. Without a single exception.? https://t.co/AetvErfKeX
