Hulk Hogan Flexes His Poor Judgement, Strikes a Pose with Neo-Nazi

Wrestler Hulk Hogan with neo-Nazi Anthony Joseph Hammer

The crazy thing is this is the second time (that we know of) where he has done this!

When wrestler Hulk Hogan spoke at Trump’s infamous Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 27 he tried to defend the event from those who saw it as a Nazi rally similar to the one that was held in 1939 at the same venue when it was located a few blocks uptown. “I don’t see no stinkin’ Nazis in here!” Hogan bellowed to the crowd who cheered. “I don’t see no stinkin’ domestic terrorists in here!”

Less than a month later, a photograph of Hogan posing with whom one might consider to be a stinkin’ Nazi domestic terrorist surfaces, and it marked the second time it has happened.

The photo is of Hogan in front of a large display of his Real American Beer brand that he has been touring the nation to promote. Alongside him is a person wearing a black shirt with the number ‘88’ – a well-known numeric code for “Heil Hitler” with the letter H being the 8th letter of the alphabet – flashing an OK symbol, which as of late has been co-opted by white supremacists and wearing a red hat that read “Make America White Again”. It has not been reported where the photo was taken.

The person with Hogan is a neo-Nazi named Anthony Joseph Hammer, 35 of Denton, Texas. Saying on his Twitter account that he is the founder of the “Make American White Again Movement,” and despite the account featuring racist and anti-Semitic messages he has been able to post there since he opened it just over a year ago. he is also believed to have some affiliation with the Goyim Defense League (GDL), a neo-Nazi organization formed in 2018 and run by a Mexican-American former rapper named Jon Minadeo. Hammer – his real name –  was arrested in 2021 after sending a threatening message to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) that read, “Come and find me.  Come after me.  Come hunt me down.  This is me.  This is really me.  All of my info.  I will kill all of you Zionist pigs.  4th reich soon.” At the time of his arrest, Hammer was already under investigation for threatening calls he made to then-Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s office.  Hammer reportedly made seven calls requesting to speak to him and staff members refused to put him through threatened to kill the Governor and his staff members, according to law enforcement. Hammer pleaded guilty in May 2023 to the charges stemming from the ADL case and was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison. He was released on Sept. 29  of that year and within a month started his Twitter account.

Two weeks ago, a Reddit account reported that he has been harassing residents of Bentonville, Arkansas and also was arrested on Sept. 9 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is unclear what charges he faced there.

This was not the first time Hulk Hogan was photographed with someone that promotes Nazism. Another photo from his Real America Beer tour shows him posing with a man sporting an SS tattoo. At the time of this posting, Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, has not responded to questions about either photo.
