ORIGINAL: WWE SmackDown Superstar Jaxson Ryker took to Twitter on Monday, showing some support for President Donald Trump. As you’d expect, his tweet was heavily criticized by many. For those unaware, Ryker (Gunner in TNA Wrestling) teams with Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler as The Forgotten Sons. He said,
“Thankful for the @POTUS we have! God bless America. Built of freedom. Forgotten No More.”
Ryker made the tweet shortly after police in Washington, DC tear gassed and flash bombed some protesters who were demonstrating peacefully. The protesters were in Lafayette Park near the White House and they were there before any curfew went into effect. The reason for gassing the protesters was so Trump could walk across the street to St. John’s Episcopal Church and hold a bible for a photo-op.
