WWE wrestler Chad Lail, who goes by the name Jaxson Ryker of the Forgotten Sons wrestling on the Smackdown brand received harsh criticism from his fellow peers on a recent tweet in which he showed his support for President Donald Trump:
Thankful for the @POTUS we have! God bless America. Built of freedom. Forgotten No More

— The above tweet did not go over well with many other wrestlers, who didn’t hold back letting Ryker know how they felt:
The freedom you speak of entitles you to speak your mind all you want. I’m not here to argue that. I just really need to tell you that I think you pushing your shitty wrestling catchphrase as all of this is happening is absolutely fucking pathetic.
Good night. https://t.co/d34xdOXZr6

I’m thankful you posted this because I’m now aware of what you stand for. When black brothers and sisters are crying, you praise someone that refuses to acknowledge their hurt. https://t.co/O4xm5L3Rpl

I get you’re a “bad guy” on tv. And I’m HOPING that’s all this is. Even then, that ain’t it. But if this is actually your true thoughts – I’ll be really sad, man. https://t.co/9unml5rsiY

I’m just keeping him nameless because he’s a sorry ass motherfucker who I refuse to let ride my coattails. He gets no love from me. He gets no rub from me. And if he would like to discuss it in person we have enough mutual acquaintances that he will be able to find me easily. https://t.co/IW25S376L4
