WWE’s Cody Rhodes Responds To Allegations Of Being A Republican
Cody Rhodes clarified his family’s political stance.
The American Nightmare had posted a GIF of himself with the caption ‘January 6th, Bring it.’ It was supposed to be for the premiere of Go Big Show’s new season on TBS that he starred in. However, it also happened to be the day when over 1,000 people had stormed the U.S. Capitol as a reaction to Donald Trump losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
He was tagged a Republican by the fans who saw the post, and made a connection that did not exist.
Cody Rhodes clarified the misconception
Cody Rhodes opened up about his family and his political stance on Bert Kreischer’s ‘Bertcast’.
So the Capitol riots were January 6th, right?… Go-Big Show, we debuted the second season on January 6th, and it lives in infamy, especially because I’m — I try not to be on socials as much but I still can get pretty gotten-to about a moment here and there. But I put a GIF of me in-ring, going like this, ‘Come on!!’
And all I wrote was ‘January 6th,’ and it’s me doing that… Because not enough people watch Go-Big Show. I can’t explain to them, no! No! It was a show that we were doing and it really checks the box because there’s a group of people that’s just insisting on, ‘That guy’s clearly a Republican. He’s had a Trump hat before, he has a neck tat. ‘
He’s from Georgia. He’s clearly –’ whereas my family is super moderate, fairly a lifetime liberal family. We’ve been all over the map, sure. But, those people, there’s no way I’m convincing them. I mean, it’s the U.S. flag on the side of my neck. It would be a waste of my time to try and like, hey, well, I think a little differently than you’d perhaps perceive but okay… I’m very moderate, so that means I have no voice. Like, no voice.
