On Tuesday the group ReOpen South Florida staged an anti-mask protest at a Target store at Coral Ridge Mall in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Once inside the store, the participants—who wore clothing emblazoned with the MAGA slogan of President Donald Trump—removed their masks, yelled at other shoppers and blared the anti-establishment anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It."

The song, written by Dee Snider, was made famous in 1984 by hair metal band Twisted Sister. Snider, the band's lead singer, had a clear message for ReOpen South Florida after he heard the news of their protest.

Sharing a video of the group's invasion of the store, Snider tweeted:

"No...these selfish a**holes do not have my permission or blessing to use my song for their moronic cause. #cutthesh*t"

People on social media had little patience with the group harassing store employees and other shoppers.

Of course, there were a few respondents who disagreed with Snider.


Most people were not on that particular train however.







Broward County was equally unimpressed with ReOpen South Florida's latest stunt. The Target store was fined for not enforcing the mask requirement currently in effect.

Citations were also mailed to the participants in the stunt.

Broward County spokeswoman Margaret Stapleton said three people from the video were identified. They were each mailed $100 citations for failing to wear masks.

Stapleton added:

"Any additional participants from the video that are able to be identified will also receive $100 citations in the mail."

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
