Hulk Hogan Stirs Up Controversy Over Kamala Harris’ Race
Hulk Hogan on presidential candidate Kamala Harris: “Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?”
At the 2024 Republican National Convention, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan publicly endorsed Donald Trump for president. Hogan explained that he couldn’t stay quiet any longer after “they took a shot” at his “hero.”
This week, TMZ released footage of Hogan making comments about presidential candidate Kamala Harris. In the video, Hogan says:
“Do you want me to body-slam Kamala Harris? Should I drop the leg on her? Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian? Okay, I can dig it! How! I’m definitely gonna catch heat for that one, brother. That wasn’t me, though—that was the beers talking.”
ONLINE REACTION
Some people thought Hogan was just trying to be humorous, but others thought he was trying to copy another all time great Stone Cold Steve Austin. He was known for the “What” catchphrase. However, the most jarring response was some people saying Hulk Hogan was again being racist.
Hulk Hogan’s most notable racist controversy occurred in 2015 when a tape from 2006 was leaked, revealing Hogan making several offensive and racist remarks. In the recording, Hogan was heard using the N-word multiple times while discussing his daughter Brooke’s relationship with a Black man. He expressed anger and frustration, using derogatory language and voicing racist views.
After the tape surfaced, Hogan faced significant backlash. WWE cut ties with him, removing him from their Hall of Fame and scrubbing his presence from their website and promotional materials. Hogan later apologized publicly, claiming that his comments were a result of a difficult time in his life, but the incident tarnished his legacy. Years later, WWE reinstated Hogan into their Hall of Fame, though the controversy remains a point of criticism.
Has Hulk Hogan ruined his legacy?
Everyone knows about the Hulk Hogan N word tape but nobody ever brings up when his son almost killed someone in a car accident, Hogan’s biggest fear was him and his family being reincarnated as black people as punishment
That’s some INSANE racism. Fuck Hulk Hogan now and forever https://t.co/2Xj3XjLm2f

Yep… you gonna hear that your joke… and I know it was a joke, was in poor fucking taste. You said it yourself, and you got to own it. And don’t give the beer excuse, that is pathetic. https://t.co/wFF9yYRLaA

As a kid, I used to love Hulk Hogan. But he continued to expose himself as a racist, sad, pathetic, terrible human being. https://t.co/2h3uKc13Sc

You ABSOLUTELY can hate Hulk Hogan. No matter how much he may have done for wrestling, he doesn’t get a free pass for being a racist piece of shit. No amount of good will can clear that.

We all need to remember, Hogan wasn’t sorry for sayin what he said in the sex tape. He was sorry it was recorded and got out. As a kid I loved Hulkamania it’s what got me into wrestling, but as I grew up I’m just disgusted by him.
