Hulk Hogan launches sexual assault on Kamala Harris weeks after threatening to body slam her
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (78) organized an election rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden on October 27, where wrestling legend Hulk Hogan took the stage.
While on the “World’s Most Famous Arena,” Hogan fired more shots at Trump’s Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, weeks after he seemingly threatened her.
Many speakers on the event got here under fire for making comments perceived as racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic. The offensive remarks led critics of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement to compare the MSG rally to a rally the infamous Nazi rally in 1939, which took place within the previous version of the MSG hall.
– I do not see any stinking Nazis here. I do not see any stinking domestic terrorists here,” Hogan told the Trump maniacs in the group.
He said that when Trump speaks, “it looks like he has a heart of gold for the US.” But once I hear Kamala’s voice… it feels like a Hollywood script.”
The WWE Hall of Famer then labeled Kamala Harris, 60, a “bad actress” after she made a spitting sound. Hogan’s verbal jab was apparently a reference to the “Hawk Tuah” meme that went viral in 2024.
Hailey Welch, also referred to as Hawk Tuah Girl, made national news after giving oral sex advice in an interview outside a Nashville nightclub. She said, “Oh, you have to give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thing.”
Hogan’s on-stage kicking at Harris led social media users to slam the 71-year-old “Rocky III” actor. Many critics called him a racist.
For example, one user X he tweeted“I respected Hulk Hogan as a wrestler, but I don’t respect him if he’s racist towards black people. How rude!”
Someone else he wrote“A comedian got here on and was just being racist, considering (it) could be a very good way to promote Trump. And now they’ve Hogan, one other known racist, trying to do the identical thing.
Third person sent“It’s funny how Hulk Hogan says when he talks to Kamala Harris that it sounds like a Hollywood script… He said that while reading the newspaper and doing all the Hollywood tricks he did when he was a wrestler.”
Others mocked Hogan for trying to rip his shirt off. One account he asked“Did anyone tell Hulk Hogan that he was speaking at a political rally and that you shouldn’t rip off your shirt and go wild (at) political rallies?!?!?”
Additionally, a YouTube commenter on a New York Post video about Hogan’s MSG speech wrote, “What an embarrassing idiot.”
Hogan’s speech at Madison Square Garden wasn’t the primary time he took direct aim at Harris. In August, the previous WWF world champion threatened the vice chairman with wrestling moves.
“You want me to punch Kamala Harris? I said, do you want me to punch Kamala Harris? Do you want me to let go of Kamala’s leg?” Hogan asked fans at a promotional event in Ohio about his Real American Beer brand.
Hogan also made fun of Harris’ South Asian heritage. After mocking the vice chairman with a Native American stereotype, he said, “I’m going to get hot for this, bro. It wasn’t me. That’s what the beer said.”
The Hulkster has a really problematic history with race. Hogan sued Gawker in 2013 after the media published his sex tape without his consent. The lawsuit led to the revelation that he had racist views towards black people.
An audio recording introduced as evidence within the Gawker case showed a person born Terry Bollea using the N-word. Moreover, the video captured the previous “Hogan Knows Best” reality star. saying“I think we’re all a little bit racist.”
In 2015, WWE removed all references to Hogan from the corporate’s website and removed him from the promotion’s Hall of Fame. WWE ultimately reinstated Hogan after he publicly apologized for his anti-Black comments.
Hogan’s support of Donald Trump’s presidential bid included his speech on the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
The Georgian-born artist achieved success rip his shirt off on the RNC to loud applause from the conservative audience.
