TIL entertainment personality wrestler continues his persona that he is famous for and goes viral for controversial commentary again while advertising his new product.


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.

“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?’”

“You want me to drop a leg on Kamala?” he asked.

“Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” he asked.

“I am going to get heat for that one, brother. That was not me. That was the beers talking,” he claimed to the crowd.

In 2015, Hogan was abruptly fired from World Wrestling Entertainment after tapes surfaced of him repeatedly using a racial slur in 2007. Hogan eventually apologized and was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, BBC News reports.^[[1] https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hulk-hogan-body-slam-kamala-harris_n_66c60869e4b01c59f9ddce97]
