Author Mark Levin bashed Dwayne Johnson on Monday for his endorsement of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris – calling the actor a “self-righteous egomaniac.”
Johnson, a former wrestler-turned-Hollywood star, has never publicly endorsed a ticket for president before but backed the Democrats over the weekend.

“Self-righteous egomaniac,” Levin wrote on Twitter. “And why should we care who another actor endorses? What a surprise, he endorse the Democrats.”
“Well, then, let’s stop thinking for ourselves, no longer worry about the Republic, vote for a mentally incapacitated lifetime political hack, because ‘the Rock’ is stupid enough to do so. Uh, no.” Levin added about Biden.
In a later tweet, Levin called the former wrestler “a clown” for saying he is a centrists and independent when supporting Harris.
“…[she’s] the most leftwing senator in the Senate (left of Sanders!), and was the most vicious…and vile hack of the bunch during Brett Kavanaugh‘s confirmation hearings,” Levin tweeted of Harris.
“This should make you even more active in re-electing President Trump.”
Many celebrities such as Stephen Curry, Eva Longoria, Kerry Washington, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have endorsed Biden while only a few, including actor Jon Voight, have endorsed Trump.
In a message on Twitter, Johnson said: “As a registered independent for years now with centrist ideologies, I do feel that Vice President Biden and Senator Harris are the best choice to lead our country.”
He shared a seven-minute and 30-second clip to his 14.8million followers in which he talks to both Biden and Harris.
The Rock said he had voted for both the Republicans and Democrats in the past.
Biden’s approval rating currently lies just ahead of Trump’s, according to a CBS poll published last week.
It revealed that Trump is behind Biden by just two points at 48 percent to 46 percent, with a 3.7 percent margin of error.
The poll was conducted between September 15 and 18, asking 1,200 voters who they are voting for.
