For days now people have been protesting all over the United States, and the world. It’s clear that everyone has an opinion on the current events, and Jaxson Ryker of the Forgotten Sons recently took to Twitter to praise Donald Trump when he posted the following:
“Thankful for the @POTUS we have! God bless America. Built of freedom. Forgotten No More”

Kevin Owens quickly entered the conversation and told Ryker that he thinks it’s “f**king pathetic” that he’s trying to push his catchphrase right now.
“The freedom you speak of entitles you to speak your mind all you want. I’m not here to argue that. I just really need to tell you that I think you pushing your shitty wrestling catchphrase as all of this is happening is absolutely fucking pathetic.
Good night.”

Other wrestlers such as Mustafa Ali, Batista and more also weighed in.
I’m thankful you posted this because I’m now aware of what you stand for. When black brothers and sisters are crying, you praise someone that refuses to acknowledge their hurt. https://t.co/O4xm5L3Rpl

This braindead milkshake of a tweet reads like you shook your phone and words just fell out randomly.
