Twisted Sister lead singer Dee Snider should be elated to find that someone is still interested in his band’s body of work, but instead, the rocker attacked Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake as a “fascist moron” after a pro-Lake Twitter account shared the lyrics to his 1984 song, “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
Snider responded to a Twitter account describing itself as Lake’s official campaign account, clarifying that the song is a pro-abortion anthem that specifically rallies around a woman’s right to kill her unborn child.
“HEY IDIOTS! 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!” Snider exclaimed on Sunday.
“As the songwriter & singer I DENOUNCE EVERYTHING [Kari Lake] STANDS FOR! Write your own damn song!” he added.
“The subtext in your song is very clear to us, [Dee Snider]. We’ve got the right to choose to vote for [Kari Lake],” Lake’s campaign account wrote in response to the Twisted Sister singer.
After being asked if he will file a copyright lawsuit in response to Lake’s campaign reportedly playing the song at her rallies, Snider said, “I’ve explained this many times. You don’t have to get permission to play any song at an event. Same as a baseball game.”
“And I won’t try to stop someone (unless they are using it without permission for commercial use – that’s different) who I disagree with. I WILL denounce them,” the singer added.

Twisted Sister was darn near the house band at The Factory in Staten Island in the late ‘70’s. We used to throw stuff at them.
Sounds like something a 10-year old would write.
Gee, what happened to him?
Didn’t he used to be someone?
No.
Hell, I’m in my 70’s and I’ve never heard of him!😆🤔
Waiting to hear what Dee Snyder thinks.
No doubt.
Snider should take about 100 illegals into his home. Show them you mean it, Doo Doo.
My guess is that Kari’s IQ is at least 50 points higher than Dee’s.
Never, I repeat NEVER thought the day would come when Johnny Rotten would get red-pilled. He’s been this way for awhile now but it still blows me away.
Yup. MTV ran the song and video of a kid rebelling. Just because pro-choice folks made it thier anthem doesn’t mean that was original intent. Folks take meaning a million ways. I was not aware he was a Christian. Perhaps he believes ‘all things are permissable but not all things are beneficial’?
I’ve ALWAYS had the drool factor on 11 when it comes to Marissa Tomei. Don’t know her politics and don’t want to, so PLEASE don’t tell me.
Bow Wow wow, the Bongos, Willy DeVille, Martha and Muffins, and the Ramones…
Those were the days.
This clown’s 15 minutes of fame were over almost 40 years ago. One hit wonder.
OK, I’ll admit I’ve heard of this guy and Twisted Sister, but until now I didn’t know if Dee was male or female, and while I might recognize one of their songs if you played it for me I guarantee that I wouldn’t be able to identify the band.
The Plasmatics were the most insane band I have ever seen. They had the stage cordoned off which was unusual. They only played one set and afterwards, I knew why.
he is just jealous cause she has better hair...
we’re not gonna comb it, no, we’re not gonna comb it, we’re not gonna comb it any more.
