During an interview with Fox News' Will Cain, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson admitted that he regretted sharing his 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden.
“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer's no,” the top billed movie star told Cain.
Despite the benign nature of the conversation, one liberal writer used the interview to incite controversy with a scalding hot take on the always reasonable and measured medium of social media.
Just kidding.
American Wire's Kevin Haggerty explains:
Enter author and former HuffPost contributor Kimberly Johnson, of no known relation, who shared a clip of the entertainer's recent interview with Fox News host Will Cain where he expressed he wouldn't be publicly endorsing a candidate in the 2024 race for the White House after backing now-President Joe Biden in 2020.
“So, @TheRock, what will you tell your daughter if [former President Donald] Trump wins she is raped and forced to carry the pregnancy to term?” offered the social media post cranking up the hyperbole. “Will you say, ‘Well, honey, I just couldn't use my massive influence to endorse the only candidate who would have protected you,'?”
The wrestler-turned-actor had told Cain about his decision against endorsing, “What I also realized, what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. That got me.”
He went on to add on his effort toward unity, “In the spirit of that, there's gonna be no endorsement, not that I'm afraid of it at all. It's just I realize, this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself.”
Late last year, Johnson appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast and acknowledged that he has friends who support Trump, but none who openly back Biden. He mentioned having friends who are loyal to the Democratic Party but disillusioned with the current president.
