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 Hogan asked the crowd, before using an outdated and stereotypical greeting associated with Native American Indians.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”.

    Just to make things clear:

    hogan did not have a high flying style where he was constantly being spiked on his head. Even his famously “amazing” wrestling in Japan was basically just a bit of grappling and submission work.

    This is not something like benoit where an infamously violent and impulsive bully suffered enough concussions (and steroid abuse) that he snapped and murdered his family.

    No. hogan’s debilitating injuries and constant pain is because he kept jumping up and landing on his tailbone. His stupidity?

    He is just really fucking stupid and always has been.

      So you’re telling me he’s had it super hard in his rear so often it’s messed up his head? That checks out!
