Actor and wrestling star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has expressed regret over his endorsement of Joe Biden in 2020, and has vowed not to repeat the error. His comments came in an exclusive interview with Fox News aired Friday morning. Johnson also used the opportunity to blast “woke culture” and “cancel culture.”
“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer is no,” Johnson said.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he explained, saying he felt it was his duty to use his influence and his position to share his preferred candidate with the public.
“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer’s no,” he confirmed.

TEARS ME UP.
“What I realize, what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. That got me. The takeaway after that, months and months, I realized, that caused division in our country. I realize now going into this election, I will not do that, my goal is to bring this country together.
“[With] this level of influence, I’m going to keep my politics to myself; I think it’s between me and the ballot box,” he said, adding he would support whoever the American people choose.
Johnson also said he was not planning to enter the political arena himself “as of now.”
