Hulk Hogan is a Republican?
Why is it always washed up actors or once-famous-but-not-so-much-now people that are Republicans?
Not just a Republican, but was on stage with Trump at the RNC.
Also, he's a racist. He literally called himself a racist and then used the N-word. He just didn't know he was being recorded at the time.
He's also the bootlicking, anti-union snitch that ratted out Jesse Ventura to McMahon.

It's a little repetitive to call a republikkklown a racist. They all are, it comes with red dunce cap.
Because when no one seems to care about you like you're accustomed to, it's far more reliable to jump on someone else's bandwagon of sycophantic rubes that will cheer you on as you suck off a fashist.
Because it's a way to stay relevant. They miss the attention.
Gonna leave this here. Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue, by Ryan Holiday.
Tangentially, same author, Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator
Tbh, didn't click into either of your links here, but enough to state the following...
Gonna leave this here. ["I'm a professional liar, and you, personally, are stupid for listening to anything I say"]
Tangentially, the same author, ["Buy my book, I'm now going to tell you the truth"]
The second book is about how the news cycle is broken. A lot about write-first, verify later. Or manufactured outrage. Or straight up falsehoods.
It's a good book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The first book is almost a specific case of it...Hulk Hogans sex tape scandal, and the people who bankrolled his lawsuit against Gawker because of a completely unrelated personal grudge.
All shit-sloshing gutters eventually end at the RNC. It's like the famous section of that classic poem from the old gop poet, No-wokeius Bartholomew Pussyhound III:
"Give me your washed up, your publicly disgraced and purposefully-undereducated, your convicted masses yearning to molest underage boys in churches and motels while wearing flag shirts... I'm gonna scare those goofy fuckers into giving me money by talking almost exclusively in acronyms that they don't understand, but are terrified of!"
Hulk Hogan has always been a piece of shit. Always. Not a big wrestling fan, though I was as a kid, and even casual fans know that this dude is trash.
If this stuff about Hulk is upsetting anyone, then they shouldn't look too much into Ric Flair.
Free money from idiots would be my first guess.
Throwing foam rocks is a prerequisite, I think. Art least, that explains Sorbo and Cain.
He’s a decrepit, mysogonistic racist scrounging off his former glory.. he’s the stereotypical Republican!
