Kiss bassist Gene Simmons gave a firm dismissal to celebrities voicing their opinions on political events on Tuesday.

Actor Ben Stiller asked the White House to remove a clip of one of his movies from a video it posted to X, saying, “We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine.” A reporter asked Simmons about Stiller’s complaint, to which the musician joked that everyone should listen to actors and comedians “because they’re so qualified.”
