Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has blasted Iced Earth mastermind Jon Schaffer on Capitol riots, calling him “an embarrassment to the metal community.”
Dee took to his Twitter to share a CNN article about Schaffer‘s guilty plea, and he included the following message:
“THIS PIECE OF SH*T IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE METAL COMMUNITY! First he shames us with his terrorist actions on in DC, and THEN he becomes a rat to his own people for a lighter sentence! MAN THE F*CK UP! Own your sh*t! If you do the crime, do the time!”
When one of Dee‘s Twitter followers defended Jon, writing, “At least he had the balls to stand up for what he believes in!!!!!”, Snider fired back with:
“How do you feel about him being the first to plead guilty and cooperating with the Feds to lessen his sentence? Not what I call stand up.”
Dee added in a separate tweet: “Let me be clear on this: No one should ever rat out or throw their friends, families or cohorts under the bus. That’s p*ssy bullsh*t. It’s a problem with today’s society. Everyone is so ‘tough’ until they get caught. Then they are quick to blame everyone else.
“Hey, the authorities have always gotten a lot out of rats (my dad was a cop), but he still raised me to keep your mouth shut and suffer in silence. They call them rats for a reason. #snitchesgetstitches”.
