Washed-up professional wrestler Hulk Hogan made a complete horse’s ass out of himself at last month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, ripping off his shirt and declaring it was time to “let Trumpmania run wild,” leaving some in the audience to suggest that it was inappropriate to have such a spectacle at a political convention.
And now Hogan could be in serious trouble with the U.S. Secret Service for remarks he made in Ohio on Monday evening, Mediaite reports.
During an event in Medina, Ohio to promote his new Real American Beer, Hogan called out to the crowd, “You want me to body slam somebody? You want me to body-slam Kamala Harris? I said, do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris?! You want me to drop the leg on Kamala?”
He continued, “Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” before raising his left hand and saying, “How,” in imitation of a stereotypical native American, or “American Indian.”
Seconds later, Hogan admitted his comments might not have been such a good idea.
“I’m gonna get heat for that one, brother. That was not me, that was the beers talking.”
Hogan might want to go ahead and clear some space on his schedule for the next few days because he could be getting a visit from federal authorities, who are already on alert after a man took shots at failed former president Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
This isn’t the first time Hogan has proven his bigot bonafides.
In 2020, he was banned from All-Elite Wrestling (AEW), according to Forbes.
“Though it wasn’t explicitly expressed in the tweet, Hogan’s banishment from AEW likely stems from a series of racist comments he made on tape in 2015. Hogan was fired from WWE and wiped from its Hall of Fame before awkwardly rejoining the company in 2018. Hogan’s return to WWE was accompanied by an ill-fated plea for forgiveness from the WWE locker room. The stunt did not go well, resulting in public criticism from too-good-for-WWE Superstar and philanthropist Titus O’Neil.”
Twitter users also had some thoughts on Hogan’s latest comments.
