Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has joked about “body slamming” Vice President Kamala Harris after questioning her racial identity.

Hogan, 71, was filmed asking a jeering crowd about the Democratic Party’s White House nominee.


In a video obtained by TMZ, Hogan said: “Do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris?!”

He shouted: “Do you want me to drop the leg on Kamala?!”

Hogan, who consistently mispronounced the Vice President’s first name, is a huge supporter of Donald Trump.

He appeared at the Republican National Convention in July.

Hogan stood onstage and ripped his shirt in half to reveal a Trump-Vance tank top.

The 71-year-old, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, also echoed Trump’s comments about Harris' racial background.

Hogan asked the crowd: “Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?”

He later used an outdated and stereotypical greeting associated with Native American Indians.

Trump had already attacked the Vice President after falsely claiming she had only ever emphasised her Asian-American heritage until she decided “she became a black person”.

He said: “I didn’t know she was Black…She happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black.

“So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black? ... I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way and all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person.”

Hogan had landed himself in hot water in 2015 after being suspended by WWE.

A resurfaced sex tape showed the wrestling star repeatedly using the N-word.

He also admitted to being “a racist, to a point”.

However, Hogan apologised and was later reinstated to the Hall of Fame in 2018.

He said: “Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation.

“It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it.”
