Hulk Hogan jokes about body slamming Kamala Harris
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 Hogan asked the crowd, before using an outdated and stereotypical greeting associated with Native American Indians.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".

Andre the Giant has a posse.
He is a posse.
He is the brute squad.
Anybody want a peanut?
Enough now I mean it!

Marjorie Traitor Greed approves this message.
Hulk Hogan has a softball sized lump of scar tissue in his ass from constant steroid injections.
I learned that, how you have to too
Hulk Hogan was the one who ratted out Jesse Ventura when the Jesse brought up the idea of unionizing to the wrestlers.
Never meet your heroes - former hulkamaniac
Same here. I should have paid more attention to Andre.
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.
Andre the Giant was great in The Princess Bride.
Hulk Hogan sucked in Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
My dad used to run into him regularly when he worked as airport security in the 70s. He was a fantastic kind man with an incredible sense of humor. My dad had lots of good stories about him that he used to tell me about. So, another data point to back up your thinking.
Andre was a good guy. Shame about Hulk.
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.
"Aw, you got kids, Maniac?"
"Nah...not anymore..."
Uhh... what?
Is there any context to this? I'm genuinely curious.
Me and some friends were looking for a way to give back to the troops. So we decided to do a big wrestling thing. We got a hold of a local legend in the wrestling scene named Da Maniac. We were getting all the details ironed out for the show and he kept calling me the N-word. He also started to autograph parking tickets and tried giving them to us, plus it looked like he was living in his station wagon. He ended up getting arrested right before the show, so we had to do our own thing. We tried this whole eagle/bird of prey tag team thing. But I think we came off more like pigeons than as eagles. But we got another friend from school to wrestle against us. He showed up in this racist Arab costume and called himself the tali-bum (he was homeless at the time).
Thank you for the context, though coming back to this, I got no closure on the acorns. What was that not about?
The closure is this is the plot of one of the episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
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.
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.
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.
Amen!
See that's just it, I'm not the one criticizing submitters.
Throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery is easy. Being the change you want to see isn't. Start submitting to this community and let's see how you fair, Mr. 1-month-old account.
Sometimes people need a taste of their own medicine.
Edit: Definitely struck a nerve. I wonder, does Lemmy have vote manipulation detection?
Only when mods and admins look at the post, so nothing automated.
I wish!
Everything is politics in one way or another. In this case, it is explicitly political. Because the washed up, union busting snitch, pro wrestler and D-list actor is giving a political speech at a political convention for a major political party for the nomination of a politician.
Like the only way it could be more political is if he was running himself.
How very disgusting, this Mr. Hogan!
Notorious racist and wife beater Hulk Hogan, threatens to physically assault a black woman. Nope not surprised at all..
I feel like that's the bigger deal here.

I'm just gonna borrow this for a while
He was like my AllMight as a kid.
Fucking sad. I hate all that time wasted even as a hobby. Piece of crap.
Just a reminder, that while under oath in court, Hogan said this:
Which is a really weird thing to have to clarify one of your lies in court. Essentially he's saying his fictional character, whose penis you never need to think about, ever, is 10 inches. However he himself the real individual does not. And he was asked to clairify this because video surfaced of his best friend filming him having sex with his best friends wife. And his penis clearly wasn't 10 inches.
God another one that can't tell Indian from Native?
Totally normal and not weird 🤡
Not a surprising move from Peter Thiel's best friend. Pretty much in line with what his puppet Vance said.
Trash. Ignorant trash.
Hulky. Buddy. Just go wrank off to some AI pics of her like all the others like you are doing
Secret service, are you listening?
I'm always quite surprised the Hulk Hogan is still alive. He and most of the other 80s/90s wrestlers ploughed through cocaine like Scarface, and I expected his heart to have exploded long ago.
ric flair thanking his lucky stars that he's no longer the most embarrassing 80s wrestler anymore
We all know how big of a racist prick he his, so yeah, no surprise. This clown needs to go away. He was a hero and now he's just pathetic.
He tried for Kamela Chameleon and instead discovered the Karma chameleon: Hulk’s has definitely come and gone.
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.
The more I think about it, the weirder Hulk Hogan becomes.
He’s lying in bed with trump and that smell just doesn’t go away.
Mr Hogan has hit his head one time too many. Go take a nap grandpa!
Just to make things clear:
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.
So you're telling me he's had it super hard in his rear so often it's messed up his head? That checks out!
Maybe Hulkster shouldn't be mentioning race considering racial stuff pretty much made him persona non grata in pro wrestling for years.
Remember when Hulk used to rip his shirt off, and he didn’t have to cover his gross old body with another shirt?
Another washed up nobody.
The fact that grown adults find this performance at a political rally appealing is proof enough there isn't enough in that room to add up to 70 IQ
This motherfucker is not a real American.
Correct, he is an anthropomorphic hotdog.
Put him back in his moldy bun. Over burnt Oscar motherfucker Mayer colored piece of shit. I gave you my childhood, and you gave me a whole bunch of creepy bullshit for decades.
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?
They get off on hurting others, its literally sexually appetizing to them. They wanna take you down, physically and otherwise
What is this 1988?
Nah. Pot is legal now......in most places anyways.
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!
"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.
Who?
Terry
HoganBollea. (I'm using his given name instead of his chosen pronoun because that's what his political party would want.)Terry Bollea
That ripping a t-shirt trick is a lot less impressive when you realize they make a small cut in it first.
