U.S. hellscape status secured as KISS’ Gene Simmons takes over Pentagon podium
Official press briefings at the White House and the Pentagon used to happen on a consistent basis, at times even daily. But that was before the Trump administration: Current Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders hasn’t held a White House press briefing in an unprecedented 67 days. The Pentagon press briefing is even rarer, and hasn’t happened in almost a year, although actor Gerard Butler visited the podium in October to promote a movie.
Continuing these bizarre pop-culture appearances in the home of U.S. government, yesterday KISS frontman/NPR enemy Gene Simmons took over the Pentagon podium and spoke with employees from the Department Of Defense. CNN reports that Simmons addressed Department Of Defense personnel and met with “outreach officials as part of a Pentagon initiative to engage the broader public with regards to military activities. He also paid a visit to the White House later in the day.” Accompanying him was Simmons’ wife, Shannon Tweed.
