Iconic pro wrestler goes to the mat for Harris: ‘Real men respect strong women’

In a Monday night appearance on CNN, WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Mick Foley said that he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

The retired performer was a guest on “Laura Coates Live.”

“Real men respect strong women, they don’t live in fear of them,” Foley said, describing himself as a longtime supporter of the Democratic nominee for president. “I just believe she’s a positive person, a very competent person. I want to embrace the joy that she brings. The optimism and not the fear that has been Donald Trump’s hallmark.”

Foley wrestled under his real name and also used the names Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love. During his time as a wrestler with WWE, Foley won three world championship titles and eight tag-team titles. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.

He also previously served on the board of RAINN, or the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, which advocates on behalf of abuse survivors.
