Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has joked about body slamming Vice-President Kamala Harris in front of a fired up crowd, and questioned her racial identity.
…
“Do you want me to drop the leg on Kamala?!” he shouts, referring to one of his iconic wrestling moves.
…
Hogan continued to make more comments about Ms Harris including one about her Indian heritage.
Kamala Harris is bi-racial - her mother was from India and her father is Jamaican.
“Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” Hogan asked the crowd, before using an outdated and stereotypical greeting associated with Native American Indians.
The video stops after he could be heard saying he “was going to get heat for that one”.
I’ve never been a fan of wrestling but I loved Andre. From everything I’ve seen and heard, he was the nicest guy you could hope to meet. There are some great stories about him out there too. There’s video of Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about a time when he and Andre were arguing over who would pay the check at a restaurant and Andre literally picked Arnold up and put him on a piece of furniture. And another similar occasion with Andre and Wilt Chamberlain. The Cary Elwes book, As You Wish, about the making of The Princess Bride has a lot of stories about Andre from the cast too. It’s well worth the read if you’re a fan of the movie.
