Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Backpedals On Joe Biden Comment

In a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Rogan had a candid conversation about the current political climate and the diversity of political opinions among friends.

During the interview, Rogan expressed his views on how political affiliations have become polarizing in recent times, contrasting it with a more accepting attitude in the past.

“When I was a kid, you could have a Republican friend. It was no big deal,” Rogan said.

“It’s no big deal. Like, oh, Bobby likes George Bush; Who cares? Who gives a fuck? You know, you were a supporter of Bill Clinton; he liked George Bush. Nobody cared. Nobody like ‘fuck you.’ You know, it wasn’t like, ‘You’re a Nazi.’ Like, ‘I’m what?’ It wasn’t like, ‘You’re a Nazi.’ I just want lower taxes,” Rogan added.

The conversation took an interesting turn when Johnson told Rogan he has friends who support President Trump and other friends who support Joe Biden.

Rogan pushed Johnson to expand on the comment and asked him if he truly has friends who support Biden.

Johnson immediately backpedaled on his previous statement and clarified that he has friends loyal to their respective political ideals rather than specific political figures.

The Rock: “I do… No, no. Here’s what I do. I have friends. Thank you. That’s a good check because that’s important. This is an important context. They support the Democratic Party. I have friends who are loyal to the party.”

NEW: The Rock backtracks after saying he has friends who support President Joe Biden.

Rock: “I have friends who support Trump. I have friends who support Biden.”

Rogan: “Do you really have friends who support Biden?”

Rock: “No, no, no, no, no… Thank you. That's a good check… pic.twitter.com/IGUDmx8Hfp

Even though he has said a presidential run is off the table because he wants to spend quality time with his daughters, he added fire to the speculation that he will run after making the rounds in Washington, D.C. this week.

In past interviews, Johnson said he considers himself to be an Independent. He was a speaker at the 2000 Republican National Convention, but he has aligned himself with liberals in recent years.
