Frontman Gene Simmons made headlines earlier this year when his own son called him ‘The Donald Trump of rock‘ – after Simmons spoke out in support of racial profiling following bombings in New York and New Jersey.

The rock icon said that governments “just have to get more aggressive”, adding: “It’s emergency powers during war. There’s a war going on.” He also said of Ahmed Khan Rahami, the man suspected of the attacks: “He should go to jail and become somebody’s girlfriend”.

Speaking to TMZ, Gene’s son Nick said: “He’s the Donald Trump of rock. I can’t take it anymore.”

Despite saying that he disagrees with his father’s opinion on the matter, Nick went on to attempt to explain Gene’s views on profiling: “Here’s where he’s coming from. He grew up in Haifa in a house with bullet holes in it so he feels like he won the Hunger Games by getting [to America]. He made it to paradise and now he’s terrified of anyone taking away this amazing place that he’s found.”
