I said nothing about kindness - they can certainly respond and put the person in their place. But I have much more respect for someone who can maintain their dignity and maturity while doing so than I do someone who responds in kind. And it points out the idiocy much more effectively than getting down in the mud with them.

I repeat - celebrities know what could happen in an interview, particularly if they've done something controversial in the past. If they can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
