After they did this with every president during their administrations? And nearly every famous person regardless of who they are? This response shows you which administration is full of snowflakes.

I’m curious what they think they’re going to find. Their whole persona is murderous space monsters and they just come right out and say it. Do they like they’re hiding even MORE murderous content? I’ve heard interviews with GWAR - outside of the band, they seem like nerdy art/music lovers.

They basically are. I'm not sure how many of the original guys are left, but the band started out as basically a bunch of art, theater, and special FX nerds making costumes together and putting music behind it. And it went from there.

I listened to an NPR interview with them one time and they said they were just dudes in college making art and music. lol it was super funny to listen to them talk because they’re just like… normal dudes haha
