The Rock Endorses Presidential Candidate, Hands out 'Certified Badass' Card

Sunday, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson endorsed a presidential candidate for the first time. The Rock put his name on Democratic nominee Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris.

"As a political independent & centrist, I’ve voted for both parties in the past," Johnson tweets. "In this critical presidential election, I’m endorsing @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris. Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, KINDNESS & RESPECT. We must ALL VOTE."

I could do without the capital letters.

Not surprised to see another Hollywood elite go all-in on Biden. The story, however, is how Johnson described the senator. Per the usually hip Rock, Kamala Harris is a "certified badass.”

(Take a minute to process.)

Political leanings aside, The Rock just lost all credibility. If Harris ever had a "badass" card, last week removed it, permanently. Check this L out:

Online, it's controversial enough to choose between Biggie and Tupac. And the "no comment" route raises suspicions. But when you strike out that badly, an exit is warranted.

The mockery shouldn't stop there. In 2019, the "certified badass" said she smoked weed and listened to Tupac in college. That's cool, huh? Total baller? Well, it's a lie. Get this: Harris graduated college before Tupac put out an album...

It's disappointing to see The Rock collapse in respect. Good luck in the XFL.
