The former wrestler, who supports Donald Trump, also made comments about the vice-president's racial identity.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has joked about body slamming Vice-President Kamala Harris in front of a fired up crowd, and questioned her racial identity.
...
"Do you want me to drop the leg on Kamala?!" he shouts, referring to one of his iconic wrestling moves.
...
Hogan continued to make more comments about Ms Harris including one about her Indian heritage.
Kamala Harris is bi-racial - her mother was from India and her father is Jamaican.
"Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?" Hogan asked the crowd, before using an outdated and stereotypical greeting associated with Native American Indians.
The video stops after he could be heard saying he "was going to get heat for that one".
For anyone who isn't a wrestling fan, Hogan is universally hated by most fans and people in the business these days. He's a racist, a backstabber, union buster, sexual deviant, and a pathological liar.
He will lie about the most easily disproved bullshit. He's a perfect example of Trump's fanbase.
I tried to post that Andre the Giant newspaper clipping on Facebook and they told me it goes against community standards and if I continued to post it I would be reprimanded.
I was never much of a Hulkamanic, but I was a huge fan of the Ultimate Warrior who turned out to be a huge decroded piece of crap too. My all time favorite though was always Rowdy Roddy, and my second favorite was Da Maniac, but the one time I met him he kept calling me the N-word and gave me a bucket of acorns.
I never watched wrestling, but Andre seemed like a nice guy when I heard about him on the vince mcmahon behind the bastards. Hulk sounded like he sucked.
This is not politics. It’s the inane yammering of a washed up, union busting snitch, pro wrestler and D-list actor. Stop legitimizing these pieces of shit. Have we learned nothing over the last decade?! Do better MicroWave, one less post an hour won’t hurt ya.
As much as I want to agree with you, this guy was one of the key speakers at the RNC. He’s the embodiment of the Republican party’s political discourse.
Do better MicroWave, one less post an hour won’t hurt ya.
Damn, man. Beggars can't be choosers. How much content do you submit to keep this community active? Just down-vote and move on. No need to make it personal.
According to your account page, four times as many submissions as you in a fraction of the time. But even if I weren't posting more content than you, quality over quantity is not a bad thing to advocate for.
Just down-vote and move on.
You should take your own advice.
Edit: lmao. Apparently I’m wrong, quantity is more important than quality. Praise the power users for their indiscriminate content dumps! Make Lemmy Reddit! Enjoy your celebrity gossip idiots.
hogan did not have a high flying style where he was constantly being spiked on his head. Even his famously "amazing" wrestling in Japan was basically just a bit of grappling and submission work.
This is not something like benoit where an infamously violent and impulsive bully suffered enough concussions (and steroid abuse) that he snapped and murdered his family.
No. hogan's debilitating injuries and constant pain is because he kept jumping up and landing on his tailbone. His stupidity?
He is just really fucking stupid and always has been.
you know... I bet Kamala could actually take him in a fight. just saying.
what a despicable piece of trash, though. I feel like these comments are worth a visit from the Secret Service or FBI or whoever handles threats to VP's/Pres Candidates.
