'You suck!' Ron DeSantis hit with savage chants at WWE show

Source: The Independent

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was hit with a hail of boos and chants of “You suck!” as he attended WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event in Tampa over the Memorial Day weekend.

The former Republican presidential candidate, 46, appeared ringside at the Yuengling Center to wave to the crowd but was not greeted with the warm reception he had evidently been expecting.

Instead, he found himself having to grin and clap along awkwardly as the animosity rained down from local wrestling fans, who made it abundantly clear what they thought of him, a moment captured in a number of videos filmed in the arena and shared on social media.

DeSantis is the second associate of Trump’s to be booed at a WWE event in recent months after Hulk Hogan was greeted with a chorus of jeers when he made a surprise appearance on Monday Night Raw in January.

I don't think he was booed because he is a Trump associate. He earned those boos all by himself.

Fans of WWE which is run by a trump humper and his (current) commerce secretary wife DON'T like trump humpers hulk hogan and rondasantis (I'm aware rondasantis tried to primary trump before ingratiating himself again)?

Those people are strange.
