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 cachet. Think like us, or you’re next.
It’s Bullying 101, and it’s far from the first time we’ve seen it.
There was a time people in show business were not only FREE to keep their political views to themselves but, even when Hollywood was conservative, BOTH SIDES were both prone to keep politics private and admired for it. Now, the Left seems compelled to politicize the nonpolitical.
“The modern Leftist wants to make every aspect of life political. Call it an obsession, and an unhealthy one.”
NOT a “modern” phenomenon: Leftists have ALWAYS been this way, and won’t rest until you are, too. In fact, they won’t stop until you step out of bed in the morning using your left foot.
I wouldn’t say “always” but this is not as recent as it seems; it’s just more both open and in-your-face than it was as recently as the dawn of COVID protocols and as far back as the eve of Obama’s presidency.
These two 3rd.rate has-beens should open a cute little shop together.
Sounds like Wil’s desperately trying to get attention with the hopes that he will get work.
Hollywood rewards left-wing loudmouths. Big Time.
The Rock said “what’s your name?” to which Wil said “I’m Wi’ and the Rock interrupted and said “it doesn’t matter what your name is. If you smell what the Rock is cookin”.
Everytime Will Wheaton runs his mouth, I just want to yell: “Shut up, Wesley!”
“Shut up” is plenty…
You mean “celebrity cachet” not cache.
Yes, I did. It’s fixed now … thanks for the heads up!
Somehow, George Takei has made what comes out of his mouth more disgusting than what goes in….
He lost me the moment he said he, even though he hasn’t used these exact words, hits for “the other team”.
The Rock should just say “I was taught by my mom not to punch down, so no comment.”
In one sentence he looks classy while pointing out they are nothings.
don’t matter anyway he’s still sucks now, we’re don’t care what he and others say they’re need to STFU and move on.
An illiterate attempts rebuttal…
Once again, George Takei opens his stupid piehole and shills for the political party that literally put him in a concentration camp.
