Dwayne Johnson Showed Up At The Capitol And You Already Know What People Said

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a surprise visit to Capitol Hill on Wednesday, and social media users used the stop to mock the Republican chaos that has recently engulfed Congress.

The professional wrestler-turned-actor’s meeting with Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) focused on military recruitment efforts, reported Politico .

But people on X, formerly Twitter, brought up former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) alleged elbowing of Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s (R-Okla.) almost-fight during a hearing.

Johnson has long been tipped for the White House but has repeatedly dismissed the idea. On an episode of comedian Trevor Noah’s “What Now ” podcast released last week, he said at the end of 2022 , he “got a visit from the parties, asking me if I was going to run and if I could run. It was a big deal, and it came out of the blue.”
