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 Hogan asked the crowd, before using an outdated and stereotypical greeting associated with Native American Indians.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".

He's like 9000 years old.

I bet she could take him.

Isn't this threatening an attack on the vice president? IIRC, the Secret Service frowns on things like that.

Damn Terry, are you really that desperate for attention?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

What a fucking loser. You really have to be desperate if your best attacks on a presidential candidate are that you don’t believe they’re uncommon but not even close to unheard of racial makeup. It’s 2024 terry, some people are mixed race in America, get the fuck over it.

Man, what a sellout. Guy was corny in the 80's and still is!

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

"Jokes".

There are a lot of people who we should seek opinions from, and there are a lot of people who we should avoid opinions from. Anyone who thinks Hulk Hogan is in the latter group is in the latter group themselves.

That ripping a t-shirt trick is a lot less impressive when you realize they make a small cut in it first.
