Gene Simmons Endorses Mitt Romney on ‘Fox and Friends’
Appearing on the staunchly conservative talk show Fox and Friends this morning, KISS frontman Gene Simmons argued that America’s next president should be Mitt Romney.
“Hindsight is 20/20. I have some real issues with the economy and how it’s being done. America should be in business and it should be run by a businessman,” said the musician, who voted for Barack Obama in 2008. “Americans, smartly, and I applaud them for doing so, vote on the issues and not the party,” he said.
“America is a business. If you can’t afford to do something, no matter how much bellyaching everybody does – I’m so sorry, if you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t do it.”
Simmons also plugged his new chain of restaurants, Rock and Brews, which launches internationally today. The franchise, he said, hires military veterans.
