Dwayne Johnson has taken to social media to publically endorse Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the Presidency and some fans aren’t happy.
This is obviously something that meant a lot to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson because he’s never publically endorsed a Presidential candidate before.
There have been calls for Dwayne Johnson to run for office himself.
I was one of the many people who felt he would make an excellent candidate and would probably win given his huge social media following and incredible popularity.
Anyway, he’s decided not to run and put his significant weight behind Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
However, fans aren’t best pleased with the actor and many of them took to Twitter to lambast Johnson for his decision to endorse Biden and Harris.
Dwayne Johnson endorses Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the US Presidency
As a political independent & centrist, I’ve voted for both parties in the past. In this critical presidential election, I’m endorsing @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris.
Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, KINDNESS & RESPECT.
We must ALL VOTE: https://t.co/rZi1mxh8DC pic.twitter.com/auLbc8xDBv

I was a huge fan of yours. You were one of the guys I looked up to when I was in a dark period in my life. It’s too bad that you’ve not only stood against cops in the past couple of months, but are now endorsing two spiritually wicked people. And now, I turn my back on you.

We know you just wanna keep your career in Hollywood. Everyone there is a slave to the system. If you don’t tow the Democrats line they destroy you. So we see your hustle Dwayne. KINDNESS & RESPECT won’t save you from the socialist hell we r going to endure if puppet Biden wins

I will never pay to watch another movie of yours.

I've been a huge fan for a long time. Feeling really let down now. I genuinely felt you had two functioning synapses to rub together before now, @TheRock

I must add that there were a lot of people on Twitter who said that they were now voting for Biden and Harris thanks to Johnson’s endorsement.
That said, there is a lot of people who are not happy with The Rock.
We live in very strange and divided times politically.
The United States and the U.K. are suffering as a result.
People are suffering due to poor leadership politically and I personally think The Rock did a good thing.
He’s been an Independent for years, but things have got to the point where he just had to pick a side.
He picked the right one if you ask me (but, I know, you didn’t).

I’ll be brief. Wrong choice. I’m being brief because I believe you are looking to get a little sample of voters going here. If anyone wants to rationally talk about why, I will certainly reply to respectful comments. Trump 2020!
Hello Sluggerz! I think Mr Rock is quite a nice chap from what I have seen. I like the cut of Joe Biden’s jib and hope he will help the country (because I certainly can’t!). Why do you like Donald Trump? I like the apprentice. Thank you
