WWE Announcer Receives Death Threats for Recent Political Tweet

– We noted last week that WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler endorsed Donald Trump for President via Twitter.

Lawler told WMC Action News in Memphis that he has received death threats for the tweet. Lawler said sending the tweet was not a good idea and he’s staying out of politics from now on.

For those who missed it, here is the tweet:

Supporting @realDonaldTrump like I do is great. Getting out to vote for him even better! Vote today NH! #FITN #TrumpTrain
