The Rock ‘Will Not’ Endorse Biden Again: ‘My Goal Is to Bring This Country Together’
New York Post ^ | April 5, 2024 | Steven Nelson

Actor and pro wrestling legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson says he regrets endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 and won’t do it again this year ahead of a likely rematch between Biden and Donald Trump.

“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer’s no. Do I believe we are going to get better? I believe in that. I’m an optimistic guy and I believe we can get better,” Johnson, 51, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” host Will Cain in an interview recorded ahead of this weekend’s WrestleMania XL event in Philadelphia.

“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” Johnson added. “And I thought back then, when we talk about, ‘Hey, you know, I’m in this position where I have some influence and it’s my job then’ — I felt like that then — ‘it’s my job now to exercise my influence and share this is who I’m going to endorse.’

So... Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s agent told him his acting career was over if he couldn’t get white men to stop turning off any movies he’s in?

To be fair, Joe Biden ran to the center of Bernie Sanders. But that’s not what happened here.

That would be my guess.

To be more fair, the potential problems with a Biden presidency were readily apparent. Fine thinks for some reason his opinions should be given credence just because he’s famous for acting, then he also has to take just criticism for not doing due diligence last time

No, says the businessman who is worth over $800 million which is expected to grow due to his new business ties.

He's refusing to endorse anyone, which is a smart move.

YOU only wish you knew how to wrestle.....LOL!

~~~

America was duped by an activist partisan media.

The same media that helped whip up irrational hysteria over covid19. The same media that fomented violence. The same media that portrayed a couple of tweets as “divisive”.

But it was the media that divided this country all along, and it was the media that lied about Biden being a “uniter”.

The division still stands, and the beatings will continue until everyone votes democrat.

The Rock now knows that nothings going to change by voting for Biden.

Sadly, the Rock hasn’t realized that nothing is ever going to change until everyone throws their brain in the toilet and starts voting marxist

Maybe his character should endorse Trump since he probably would if its wouldn’t get him canceled in real life.

Obviously, the Rock is not very smart. But if Joe Biden ran as a radical Leftist, he wouldn't have gotten the votes he needed to be President.

So it was a facade. But it's a problem now. The Democrats may cheat again anyway. But at this point, it'll be too obvious.
