Dumbest Story of the Week Reveals Liberal Bullying 101
Dwayne Johnson under fire from D-list stars, but that's not real problem
Who would call Dwayne Johnson a coward to his face?
The list must be microscopic.
Not only is the action superstar a genial fellow, but he’s a mountain of muscle on a bad day. Yet a middle-aged actor, best known for playing an annoying teen on an ’80s sci-fi show, did just that.
From afar, of course.
“Star Trek: The Next Generation” alum Wil Wheaton dubbed Johnson a “coward” for taking a step back from political posturing. Johnson endorsed Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign, perhaps unaware that the former Vice President was suffering from an undisclosed cognitive decline.
Johnson, noting how divisive his brief foray into politics proved, decided to stay out of the fray moving forward. It’s a smart move for his career. It’s also his choice.
That enraged Wheaton, a far-Left soul.
“So disappointing to find out he is such a coward.”
It also got George Takei’s attention. The “Star Trek” alum, now 89, also attacked Johnson for not sharing his political views.
“Silence is complicity.”
Oh, my!
Two far-Left actors punching up against one of Hollywood’s biggest stars isn’t news. It’s not even interesting or informative. Comedian Steve Byrne may have said it best:
Wil has nothing to lose. He does signings at Comic Conventions. Dwayne, one of the biggest box office draws of our time, has much, much, much more to lose by alienating half the country either way he leans. https://t.co/tOJ3ceki71

The modern Leftist wants to make every aspect of life political. Call it an obsession, and an unhealthy one.
Yet the far-Left Variety used these two attacks as the fuel for a news story. No, really.
Dwayne Johnson Slammed as a ‘Coward’ for Staying Quiet on Politics; ‘Star Trek’ Icon George Takei Fires Back: ‘Silence Is Complicity’
It’s what the Legacy Media does – bully anyone not on the Left to do as they’re told. Or else.
The Independent took a similar stance. “Hollywood Backlash,” to the publication, means two fellow celebrities who are far, far far less noteworthy than him.
A few free-thinkers came to Johnson’s defense, like actor/director Nick Searcy.
This is the only way @wilw can get attention. https://t.co/jTpIR7g3Qw

Naturally, Johnson will shrug off the online barbs and absurd media attacks. He’ll be fine. Nothing will happen to his career, either.
He’s too big to fail, literally and figuratively.
It’s not meant for Johnson, though. It’s a warning to stars without the actor’s fame, wealth and celebrity cache. Think like us, or you’re next.
It’s Bullying 101, and it’s far from the first time we’ve seen it.
