Hulk Hogan jokes about body slamming Harris and questions her racial identity

Harris is both the first Black and Asian-American vice president, with her father coming from Jamaica and her mother being Indian.

The Independent has contacted Hogan’s representatives, the Harris campaign and the Trump campaign for comment.

It is not the first time Hogan has been caught up in controversy over his racist remarks.

Hogan’s latest comments about Harris come after he gave a speech at the
