Just after Donald Trump's unconscionable order to assault and tear-gas peaceful protesters so he could walk to a church in order to get his photo taken holding a bible (upside down), SmackDown's Jaxson Ryker decided to send out a Tweet showing support for his POTUS.
Not too surprisingly, this led to a lot of backlash - including from some of his fellow WWE Superstars - and now a Facebook post from 2019 has resurfaced which makes his views on the #BlackLivesMatter movement abundantly clear.
In it, Ryker (real name Chad Lail) called the movement "garbage," and spouts more nonsense about watching 12 Years a Slave so black people can "realize how good you all actually have it" now.
"Pretty touchy subject but all this black lives matter garbage baffles me. I challenge anyone of any color or race to go watch 12 years a slave, the movie and realize how good you all actually have it. Learn heritage. Christ, Gandhi, Budda; they all taught love and caring for others. This is getting out of hand. I pray for this nation daily.”
Oh, and it turns out, Lail's half sister - who is black - also called him out on Twitter.
If nothing else, Ryker has certainly gained The Forgotten Sons some heat... but probably not in the way he was hoping.
