Giving Hulk Hogan a microphone in 2024 is a recipe for disaster, and sure enough the WWE legend has managed to put his foot in it again after drunkenly ranting about Kamala Harris while promoting his new beer in Medina, Ohio this week.
Hogan, 71, first threatened to body slam and leg drop Kamala Harris, before going on to question her racial identity, which is one of the biggest mortal sins in America these days.
In a video obtained by TMZ, he asked a cheering crowd:
‘Want me to body-slam Kamala Harris? Want me to drop the leg on Kamala?’
He then asked the crowd: ‘Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?’, before being seen raising his hand in a stereotypical greeting associated with Native Americans (which is extra dumb because she isn’t even that type of Indian).
Hogan was later heard saying he was ‘going to get heat for that one’, quickly adding: ‘That was not me, that was the beer talking.’
10/10 for self-awareness then.
Of course, this isn’t the first Kamala that Hulk Hogan has had issues with. Back in the 80s/90s WWF, Hulk Hogan had beef with a barefoot, spear-wielding, face-painted Ugandan giant also named Kamala, which in retrospect seems a lot more racist than anything Hogan said at this beer marketing event:
Hulk Hogan has had several racism controversies throughout his career, including his use of the N-word in a leaked sex tape that resulted in him being sacked from WWE in 2015.
Only a month ago, influencer Essence Jenai accused Hulk Hogan of sacking her as a brand ambassador for his beer after learning that she was black.
At the time, Hogan’s (black) lawyer basically offered the argument that Hulk Hogan can’t be racist because his lawyer is black:
‘Is my client racist? The answer is No. As a Black man, who can confirm better than me that Hulk Hogan is not racist?
‘More than that, he respects the African-American community, you can trust me. There must have been a misunderstanding with Essence Jenai, and Hulk is very sorry about that.’
Great stuff.
Obviously it comes as no surprise that ‘Real American’ Hulk Hogan is a Donald Trump supporter, and even cut this promo for his buddy the week after the Trump assassination attempt:
