Hulk Hogan Makes Bizarre Joke About Body-Slamming Kamala Harris
World Wrestling Entertainment personality Hulk Hogan incited drama again when he offered to body-slam Vice President Kamala Harris and questioned her racial identity in front of a crowd.
Hogan, an ardent Donald Trump supporter, made the comments on Monday night at the Thirsty Cowboy bar in Medina, Ohio, while promoting his new beer, TMZ reports.
As Hogan interacted with the crowd on stage, the six-time WWE champion suddenly spiraled into a political rant about the Democratic presidential nominee.
“Want me to body-slam somebody? You want me to body-slam Kamala Harris?” he asked the roaring crowd, as seen in a video obtained by TMZ. “I said, ‘Do you want me to body-slam Kamala Harris?’”
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, then suggested to the audience that he would perform one of his famous wrestling moves on Harris.
“You want me to drop a leg on Kamala?” he asked.
The horseshoe-mustache-wearing wrestler went on to question Harris’ Indian heritage.
“Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” he asked.
Harris is biracial. Her father is Jamaican American and her mother is Indian American.
Hogan’s reps did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. Hogan has not yet addressed his remarks on social media.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, similarly attacked Harris over her race last month. During a panel discussion at the conference of the National Association of Black Journalists on July 31, Trump claimed his opponent “happened to turn Black” several years ago.
Later on Monday, Hogan appeared to walk back his statements about Harris, blaming his words on the alcoholic beverages he had consumed before hitting the stage.
“I am going to get heat for that one, brother. That was not me. That was the beers
