‘The Rock’ Quickly Caused A Liberal Meltdown By Saying He Wouldn’t Endorse Biden
The life of a Hollywood star can be tough sledding. Itâs infinitely more difficult if you dare to step off the Democrat plantation and fail to get behind President Biden.
Just ask WWE legend Dwayne âThe Rockâ Johnson. The Rock went from the darling of Tinsel Town to a pariah seemingly overnight.
His crime? Refusing to endorse the President. Actually, to clarify, he didnât even go that far. He simply said he was not going to endorse anybody this election cycle.
âThe endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,â he said.
âI thought back then⊠Iâm in this position where I have some influence,â Johnson continued. âI felt like that then, itâs my job now to exercise my influence and share this is who Iâm going to endorse.â
âAm I going to do that again this year?â he responded when asked if heâd be supporting any particular candidate. âThat answerâs no. I also realized that what that caused back then, was something that tears me up in my gut back then and now, which is division.â

The Rock Gets Body Slammed By The Left
To reiterate, The Rock isnât saying he regrets endorsing Biden specifically. Heâs saying he regrets taking a political stand and subsequently alienating half of his fans.
Which is a reasonable take by anybodyâs measure. How often do we say that weâd just like our athletes and entertainers to not drag politics into their sport or performance?
But this is a bridge too far for the left. And their responses on social media are evidence of a clear disdain for The Rockâs decision.
First up, Mrs. Thin Mint Vindman, wife of Retired Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Thin Mint Vindman.
âYou know what also causes division? Fascism. Authoritarianism,â she writes on X. âBecause if you donât agree with the leader, they punish you. I sincerely thought he was intelligent but I have dispelled of that opinion.â
Poor syntax aside, Mrs. Vindman seems blissfully unaware that the man The Rock endorsed in 2020 has been the closest thing to an authoritarian this country has ever seen.
âIf you donât agree with the leader, they punish you?â You said that with a straight face while Biden actively throws his political opponents in prison?

The Anger Continues
The rage posting didnât stop there. Former GOP strategist turned MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd, who once â nay, twice â compared Americans concerned about inflation to Nazis, offered his take.
âHow about being in the fight for democracy and unite (the) country around that? Loss of respect for you,â Dowd responded.
The Rock will surely be tossing and turning in his sleep over losing the respect of â checks notes â Rachel Vindman and Matthew Dowd. Other flaks at NBC chimed in as well.
David Corn, of Mother Jones âfameâ and an analyst for MSNBC, believes The Rock is part of the âthreatâ against âdemocracyâ now.
NBC news analyst Mike Murphy unruffled his shorts long enough to type that The Rockâs decision is âcowardlyâ and in reality âis actually very simple.â
Then you have Never Trumper Karen here and whatever message this is.
âSo, @TheRock , what will you tell your daughter if Trump wins she is raped and forced to carry the pregnancy to term?â she writes. âWill you say, âWell, honey, I just couldnât use my massive influence to endorse the only candidate who would have protected you?’â
Read that again. Rockâs lack of endorsement could lead to his daughter being raped and itâd be Trumpâs fault. These arenât sane people. Can you even imagine being that far gone mentally?
Imagine what level of intellectual gymnastics one has to take to suggest somebody wanting to stay out of politics is a âthreat to democracy.â
The actual fascists have zero self-awareness.
