Speaking to host Will Cain, Johnson revealed that he's not happy with the state of America right now, highlighting "wokeness" and "cancel culture" as contributing to a division in the country that really bugs him.

“I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics," he says. "I care deeply about our country. I’m a patriot, and I believe you are too, as well. And right now, my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pickups — that’s important to me."

He is running.

you're forgetting Kane, mayor of Fort Knox. And there's more than just that as for right wing WWE guys attempting a political turn.

Jesse Ventura is a cut above most of those chumps. He wrote a book called Rebloodlicans Vs Democrips, criticising the 2 party form of government. Pro weed, anti CIA, still mad as fuck about the gulf of tonkin. He's a bit of a 9/11 conspiracy libertarian loon but he's definitely not bankrolled by anyone. And he has beef with Chris Kyle.

You should watch his interview with Piers Morgan. He annihilates him. Practically cuts a wrestling promo on the invasion of Iraq iirc.

Edit: He's now referring to Biden Vs Trump as 'Grift-A-Mania' https://jesseventura.substack.com/p/grift-a-mania-is-upon-us?r=6g9g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

Lol isn’t the Undertaker also a republican? He and Kane should team up again in politics

god damn I knew he was a walkabout right winger but I didn't realise he's a long time republican donor:
