When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside, you might be at a MAGA Rally in Madison Square Garden!
That’s where WWE Hall of Famer and self-described, “Real American,” Hulk Hogan found himself on Sunday and, as a pillar of that entertainment venue, and as a self-described racist, it makes complete sense that he’d be a part of all of the far-right fascist festivities that occurred.
Then event was a massive rally for another WWE Hall of Famer, and former realty-tv star, Donald Trump, as he attempts to become president one more time, after failing in 2020.
The event took place over several hours in New York City and featured a plethora of guest speakers.
One of those speakers was a self-described “comedian” who, instead of opting for jokes, bits, or anything actually resembling “humor,” just opted to go straight for racism — clearly knowing his audience.
The comedian, somebody named Tony Hinchcliffe, began his set with an attempt at “crowd work.”
“Alright, heck yeah!” this dork began. “That’s a cool black guy, with a thing on his head. What the hell is that? A lampshade? I’m just kidding. That’s one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun. We carved watermelons together.”
Not feeling like that was racist enough, he opted to “joke” about one of the largest communities that make up New York City.
“I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” Hinchcliffe stated. “Yeah, I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
Surprisingly, even the pro-Trump crowd didn’t think that joke was all that funny.
Another speaker at the event was a radio host named Sid Rosenberg. After calling Vice-President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, “a crappy jew,” Rosenberg opted to say the quiet part out loud.
“I just got back from Israel,” Rosenberg stated. “And they go, ‘Sid, you want to speak at this MSG thing?’ I go, ‘Sure…out of character for me to speak at a Nazi rally. I was just in Israel.’ But I took the gig.”
Probably, Rosenberg was attempting sarcasm. But it’s only sarcasm if it’s not actually true.
Speaking of Truth, Justice, and the American Way, the antithesis of all of those things — Elon Musk — spoke at the MAGA rally as well.
The owner of Twitter ( or X….or whatever…) did his awkward little ‘X’ shaped jump and then pointed to the tiny lettering on his hat that nobody in the audience or anyone watching at home could see and said, “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA. I’m dark, gothic MAGA.”
Musk keeps trying to make “Dark MAGA” a thing, presumably because he thinks it’s funny. But actual funny people hijacked the phrase and have labeled Elon Musk “Dork MAGA.”
Speaking of dorks, the rest of the rally featured a variety of them, including former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani whom Trump, for some reason, still thinks is relevant, as well as Dr. Phil.
Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy, must not have been able to make it to this one, so he had to reach into his pool of “celebrities” in order to scrape ole’ Phil from the bottom of the scrap heap.
But when it comes to D-list celebrities, there is perhaps none greater than the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan.
Hogan made his name in Madison Square Garden. He is synonymous with the venue. So while the Kamala Harris campaign may have, ahem: Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Bad Bunny, Dave Bautista, Mark Cuban, Robert Downey Jr., Stephen King, Robert De Niro, Mark Hamill, and many more…the Trump campaign has Kid Rock. And the My Pillow Guy. And Trump’s lawyer. And Jon Voight. And, yes, former WWF champion Hulk Hogan.
At the event, Hogan came out to his “Real American” theme music and soaked in the adulation from the crowd like it was 1984 all over again. Except this time, unlike 1984, Hulk Hogan struggled to tear his shirt off. Like, really struggled. Like, struggled enough, everybody who watched him had secondhand embarrassment.
Perhaps, this little snafu is nothing. Or, perhaps, the struggle was indicative of the entire campaign that Hogan was, presumably, hired to promote. Like Hulk Hogan himself, perhaps the entire MAGA ideology is old, washed-up, tired, weak, and unable to accomplish even the simplest of tasks.
Anyway, the election is on Tuesday, Nov. 5 and you can register to vote at Vote.gov. Like Hulk Hogan’s theme song says, “Fight what’s right. Fight for your right.”
