CM Punk discusses the world of politics and how it pertains to WWE heading into WrestleMania 41 weekend.
WWE Superstar CM Punk was a recent guest on The Ringer Wrestling Show. When asked about where he stands when it comes to politics, given the state of the world right now, Punk said it’s pretty obvious what his politics are, but that’s not something he discusses with other people in the company.
“I don’t think the company wants us to be outwardly political, and I do feel there is probably different rules for different people,” CM Punk said. “I don’t talk about politics with Triple H, Paul Heyman, Roxanne Perez. It’s 24/7 wrestling. I think it’s pretty obvious what my ‘politics’ are. I’ve never understood Democratic or Republican glazing President.
“[The] President should just do his job. If you’re wearing hats and shirts promoting the President and all that stuff, and we have very much seen recently all these people who have voted against their best interests because they thought this President was just going to do bad stupid shit to the people they don’t like.
CM Punk eviscerates Elon Musk
“I can sort of draw a line in the sand and say when Elon Musk is throwing Sieg Heil up and the podium, and I see people make excuses for that, nope. We saw what you did. Don’t gaslight me, I’m not as f*cking stupid as you are. I know what you did, so I know what you are. Now I know where you stand, and this is where I stand.
“It’s a strange, ugly world out there. The only thing I can do is be true to myself and implement and be a voice for myself and my family, and my community, and then the world. I don’t know what people want from us as entertainers. I’m just supposed to quit my job because somebody on Twitter says WWE is a ‘MAGA company?’
“Okay. You’re on Lord Elon Musk’s fucking Twitter saying stupid shit. Shut the f*ck up. What have you done? I’ve done a lot, I just don’t broadcast it. I put my money where my mouth is, and the money I make goes to helping impoverished people. I don’t need to write my name in on a f*cking GoFundMe to make me feel better about the shity person I am, I will always move as myself. Sometimes I can crash like water, and sometimes I can be still.” [H/T: Fightful]
