Dwayne Johnson Lambasts Trump in His Most Fiery Political Speech Yet

https://www.newsweek.com/dwayne-johnson-lambasts-trump-his-most-fiery-political-speech-yet-1508599


Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has delivered an impassioned speech directed at President Donald Trump in response to the widespread protests taking place across the country following the death of George Floyd.

The former pro wrestler, 48, posted an eight-minute video to social media addressing the government's response to the demonstrations against police brutality and systemic racism.

"Where are you? Where is our leader?" Johnson says, as he repeats this phrase throughout his speech.

"Where is our leader at this time when our country is down on its knees, begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain with its arms out, just wanting to be heard?"

And moving violently against peaceful citizens and the free press while looting our coffers and letting the pandemic do its thing. And sowing disinformation. And scheming to cheat at the election. And trying to vote illegally himself.

Think that sums it up.

Who wants that clown around? All he does is photo op shit with one of his wives. Hell, Pence doesn't even want to be seen with him that much anymore.
