Snider said the group doesn’t have his “permission or blessing to use my song for their moronic cause.”The stunt drew quick action from Broward County officials. Target was fined for not enforcing the county’s mask law and citations were mailed to the protesters, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.

Nelson told the Sun Sentinel he will continue to use the Twisted Sister song, despite Snider’s criticism.
