Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was booed by members of the audience of The View after expressing regret for his endorsement of President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Boos were heard on Friday morning after the airing of a short clip from a recent Fox News interview with the actor and professional wrestling star, who is set to return to the ring for the first time in eight years at this weekend's WWE WrestleMania event.
Johnson said that he was not "happy with the state of America" in the clip and revealed that he would not be endorsing Biden in this year's election because he feels his 2020 endorsement had caused "division."
"The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one that I thought was the best decision for me at that time," Johnson said. "Am I going to do that again this year? That answer's no, I'm not going to do that."
"I realized what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts—back then and now—which is division," he added.

"Should I pay any attention to someone who gives an interview on Fox where they lie every day?" Behar asked the crowd, before questioning whether celebrities should "endorse public figures" or "keep their politics to themselves."
Some in the audience could be heard responding "no" after Behar asked if celebrities should make endorsements. A short time later, the crowd made their opinions on former President Donald Trump's 2024 candidacy clear after co-host

Well said, Mr. Jordan.
It was a business decision. Heard it on the Five. Eastwood, Bruce Willis, Stallone couldn’t come out as republicans until they were well established in Hollywood. Is Johnson there? I don’t think so.
People get bored with action stuff involving little real acting.
Booed at the View doesn’t mean a thing
That's a badge of honor.
The rock will not be mocked. D-bag
And it’s one of the reasons I liked him. Never had a political reason to despise him.
Unlike “Lebron”.
In the historic words of that great American philosopher,
Michael Jordan, “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

It is hard to get some people to give up their religion. Especially when the religion is relentless about things like apostasy and backsliding.
The cult is centered on preservation of the Deep State at all costs, and the Biden regime has been front and center on that from the moment they took office. So of course The Rock got booed by the more fervent believers in the cult of the Deep State.
“The View” is the PHEEEW!
Who shives a git?
Zackly. Badge of honor. He should be proud!
“Yeah, I was totally booed on The View...”
“Really!?! I gotta hear this! ...And would you like a beer???”
What did he expect? He was on The View for crying out loud. Imagine what kind of idiot you must be to actually want to be in that audiance?
Too little way late dumbass.
He does/did not understand or hear what POTUS Potato said he was going to do the country if elected…which he did from day one.
I guess Joy had to throw out that 10” toy at home
And cancel her Prudential insurance polcy 😂
I thought it was just a clip from Fox News?
Well, he would have been booed on the View one way or another, if only for having an abundance of testosterone
He’s pretending to be even-handed but he can’t support the Biden stupidity. Politics is not patty cake and he’s finding out rather late. Naive.
“return to the ring for the first time in eight years at this weekend’s WWE WrestleMania event.”
Why? I hope all his money didn’t burn up in Maui
