As a longtime fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, I’ve seen the man chokeslammed, Stone Cold Stunned, Pedigreed, Mandible Clawed and more. And yet he never looked weaker to me than he did the other day on Fox News, which saw him tap-dancing and, in a way, turning against some of his biggest fans.
Johnson made a bit of news in an interview that aired Friday on Fox News, in which he announced that he won’t be endorsing a presidential candidate this year — saying he had realized that his 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden had “caused an incredible amount of division in our country.”
He also decried “cancel culture” and “woke culture,” saying:
That really bugs me. And in the spirit of that, you either succumb and be what you think other people want you to be, or you go: ‘No, that’s not who I am. I’m going to be myself, and I’m going to be real.’ If you ask me something, a real answer is important, and the truthful answer is important, and that may get people upset, it may p--- people off, and that’s OK.
None of us should be surprised about the endorsement stuff. Johnson has long tried to play both sides of the fence when it comes to U.S. politics. And in January, he became a board member of TKO Group Holdings, the company that owns World Wrestling Entertainment and the Ultimate Fighting Championship — two Trump-friendly organizations.

MSNBC is the American-hating multinational Comcast.
so he’s not a “person of color” anymore?
He is sofa king boring
A quick googling of the author of this screed reveals a racist who considers himself a ‘DEI warrior’.
Some say this is just a “controlled opposition” op, where he mouths “moderate” statements before endorsing Biden and other Dems.
Dwayne Johnson, in his recent taped comment, never said he wasn’t going to vote for Joe Biden in November. He said he wasn’t going to publicly endorse anyone this time around. He couldn’t stand the blow-back the last time.
Yeah l fully expect him to wilt and flip back. That is, if he ever wants to work again.
The writer of this article greatly contradicts himself. For example, he espouses people saying, “I’m going to be myself”, while at the same time saying we should support “cancel culture”, which forces people to think in lock-step with cultural leaders.
The Reason close doesn’t want to be “Budweisered” by WWE fans. Shut up and wrestle
Saw The Rock(Or AKA, the Final Boss) last night on RAW..he said that he will be leaving for a while..not sure doing what
The air time is his friend. He really didn’t say anything. It’s not like he’s piling on.
A more accurate title:
MSNBC uses Ja’han Jones to throw Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson under the bus.
He is such an ass.
I never realized he was black. I thought he was Samoan or from some Central or South American country.
When I told my wife this she rolled her eyes at me.
The same eye-roll I got when I saw some dark haired woman on television as I walked by (I haven’t watched television for going on 30 years now) and everyone seemed to be paying close attention to her so I asked who she was.
My wife rolled her eyes with a clear ‘you-are-hopeless” look and said: “That’s Kim Kardashian.”
The Rock should continue to play act at wrestling and keep his political mouth shut.
Dumb as a “Rock.”
Been clean for nearly 32 years myself. Godspeed.
What doubt? Nobody thought a little White or Asian girl wrote this.
