You want to know how broken the left is? Look no further than this compilation of TikTok videos after America learned that GenX icon, wrestling star, and everyone's 'brother' Hulk Hogan had passed away from a heart attack.
YIKES.
There are some dangerously mentally disturbed people in this country, and most of them seem to vote blue (and not ever take showers).
Of course, these are just randos who want attention. We would expect a little more decorum from the media, right?
Right?
Nope.
New York Post sportswriter Matt Ehalt was just as bad, seemingly wanting to use Hogan's death to torment his family and fans.
And then there is The Hill. We know that Donald Trump lives rent-free, 24/7 inside the heads of most journos, but their TDS is so bad, they took the opportunity of Hogan's death to define his entire life in a single, hyphenated word.
Good Lord. Seriously?
Seek professional help. And medications by the bucketload.
Also, hire a proofreader, since The Hill is allegedly a professional media outlet, but can't manage to spell the word 'wrestling.'
This is the lede that ran in the body of the article.
Professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan — who made a surprise appearance at last year’s Republican National Convention in support of President Trump’s White House bid — has died at 71.
Really? That's his primary legacy?
The Hill does go on to (briefly) mention Hogan's superstardom in the 80s, but they continue to return to his RNC appearance throughout the article.
Not a word about how Hogan recently played a real-life superhero, rescuing a teen from a flipped car. No mention of Hogan's conversion to Christianity and baptism, which he called the greatest day of his life. Nothing about his charities or how he inspired millions of fans to fitness, eating their vegetables, and taking pride in America. Just one night in Milwaukee, where he made a political endorsement. That was the sum total of his life, according to The Hill's Judy Kertz.
Then again, it's the legacy media, so they probably hated all of those other things about Hogan, too.
Not enough, you don't. None of us does.
Oh, we're trying. They give us new reasons every day.
Hogan wasn't even that vocal a Trump supporter. Other than the convention, it wasn't like he was out there every day demanding America become 'MAGA country.' He made a single speech (and a pretty darn good one).
But everything in the world is defined in terms of Trump to the dead legacy media, so naturally, they assume that Hogan defined his life that way as well.
Delete the entire newsroom.
Of course not.
That headline will read, 'Taylor Swift, who once campaigned against Donald Trump, dies at 71.' (Or whatever age. We wish her a long and healthy life.)
TDS rots the brain. Kertz's brain likely does not have any healthy tissue remaining.
The Hill stopped just short of dancing and celebrating like the TikTok videos above did.
But they probably would have done that, too, if they thought they could have gotten away with it.
They absolutely do.
Frankly, it leaves us with a pretty sour taste in our mouths.
And we don't want to leave it that way, so here is a much better tribute to Hogan yesterday from the inimitable Jesse Kelly.
Yes, it was.
And yes, he was.
And that's why we loved him.
The Hill can stay broken and irrelevant until it inevitably goes out of business. They don't get to define Hogan with their warped ideology.
This is how we will remember him, in his own words:
You can say that again, brother.
Rest in peace, Hulkster.
The left and the media may be broken, but most of America will miss you and the pythons a whole bunch.
Editor's Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
