Piers Morgan definitely isn’t signing on for Cher‘s call to boycott Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Media personality Morgan tore into the “Believe” singer on social media Friday, after Cher implored her Twitter followers to protest the president-elect’s upcoming inauguration ceremony.

And he didn’t mince words about it, either.

“Oh pipe down @cher, you absurd specimen,” Morgan tweeted. “Can the media just boycott Trump-loathing celebrities now?”

Morgan followed up by offering to help the singer “Leave Planet Earth” now that Trump is White House-bound.

“You promised to leave Planet Earth & move to Jupiter if Trump won, @cher,” Morgan wrote. “Do you need @NASA’s number?”

Morgan, a frequent critic of Trump detractors, made his offer after Cher went into all-caps mode on her Twitter account Thursday, imploring people to march in protest against Trump, and not to tune in to the inauguration ceremony.

“JOIN MARCH IN D.C.,2PROTEST TRUMP REGIME‼️2 PROTEST IN YOUR OWN HOME…,” the singer wrote. “TURN ON TV,AND AS TRUMPS INAUGURAL STARTS… TURN TV OFF #TURNHIMOFF.”

Cher‘s call to action was preceded by a screed about Trump and the Affordable Care Act.

“GUESS TRUMP & REPUBLICANS DECIDED 2 REPEAL& DESTROY ACA. trump LIED ABOUT EVERY SINGLE THING HE SAID HED KEEP,” the singer wrote, adding the warning, “MEDICARE & MEDICAID IS NXT.”

“THESE PPL STOLE HEALTH CARE FROM [American] PPL WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS WILL DIE,PPL WILL NOT B ABLE 2 AFFORD MEDS,CHILDREN & ELDERLY WILL DIE,” Cher added.
