Hulk Hogan got the crowd pumped at a bar on Monday night, asking if he should body slam Vice President Kamala Harris.
The WWE icon and avid Trump supporter also questioned if the Democratic nominee was Indian, but said it was the liquor that caused him to wonder out loud.
Hogan was promoting his new beer brand at an Ohio bar on Monday night, when he veered away from booze and took shots at Harris instead.
“Want me to body slam somebody? You want me to body slam Kamala Harris?” he asked the roaring crowd. “I said, ‘Do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris?’”
He then referenced one of his old wrestling moves, asking, “Should I drop a leg on Kamala? Is she a chameleon? Is she Indian?”
Harris, 59, has a Jamaican-American father and an Indian-American mother, making her biracial.
Hogan then made a stereotypical Native American greeting but immediately backtracked, sensing he might have crossed a line.
“I’m gonna get heat for that one, brother,” he acknowledged, adding, “That was not me, that was the beer talking.”
The next day, Harris addressed a crowd at her Milwaukee rally and made a gaffe reminiscent of something President Joe Biden would stumble on.
She hilariously pledged to “put in the hard woke” instead of “work” to secure the White House.

“We know this is going to be a tight race until the very end. We have some hard work ahead of us. We have hard work ahead of us but we like hard work. Hard work is good work,” she said in her typical word salad style.
“And with your help this November, we will win — we will, because we’re going to put in the hard woke [sic] over the next 77 days.”
Harris also criticized Trump for saying that he had no regrets about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in an interview on Monday.

“Yesterday, when he was asked if he had any regrets about ending Roe v. Wade, Donald Trump – without even a moment’s hesitation, you would think he would reflect on it for a second – said no. No regrets,” Harris told the crowd.
“I do believe bad behavior should result in consequences,” she noted, promising that Trump would face repercussions at the ballot box.
Q: You picked three Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe. Do you have any regret about the overturning of Roe v. Wade?

Trump told CBS News that abortion should be dealt with on a state-by-state basis and claimed Americans were “very happy about it.”
“No regrets, no. I wouldn’t have regrets. I did something most people felt was undoable,” he added.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama also took aim at Trump, criticizing his history of controversial sound bites, including his “Black jobs” comment from the debate that cost Biden his political career.
In her Tuesday night speech at the DNC, Obama highlighted Harris’s understanding and commitment to the nation, contrasting it with Trump’s divisive tactics.
“We know folks are going to do everything they can to distort her truth,” Obama said. “For years, Trump did everything in his power to make people fear us,” she added, claiming he felt “threatened” by herself and former President Barrack Obama because they “happened to be black.”
Her speech received thunderous applause, especially when referencing Trump’s “Black jobs” comment.
“Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s seeking might just be one of those ‘Black jobs’?” Obama quipped to loud cheers.

Hogan spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, where he ripped off his shirt to reveal a Trump-Vance tank top.
“Let Trumpamania Make America Great Again,” he bellowed, receiving enthusiastic applause.
Hogan praised Trump as a “hero” and a “gladiator,” referring to the convention audience as “real Americans” and suggesting they adopt the term “Trumpites” if Trump retakes the White House.

The retired wrestler lauded Trump and vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance as the “greatest tag team,” ready to straighten out the country for “real Americans.”
“All you criminals, low-lifes, scumbags, drug dealers, and crooked politicians need to answer one question,” he posited.
” What are you gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you, brother?”
Before the convention, Hogan told Fox News’ Bret Baier that a recent assassination attempt on Trump spurred him to act, having previously kept quiet about his support.
“I sat back and watched the borders collapse. I watched the economy collapse,” he remarked. “You know, I watched the price of gas, the price of food, everything just do an upside-down flip.”
Hogan said that when Trump was shot at, was when he realized he could no longer keep his support on the down-low.

“It rattled me to my core,” he noted. “When I saw him stand up with that fist in the air and blood on his face as a warrior, I knew that’s what America needs.”
