The wrestling star, who also alternated among the personas of Mankind, Dude Love and Cactus Jack, said, "I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion."

    Why do all these people care about Rob Renier so much? Is there something I’m missing?

      He made iconic movies that people grew up watching. The vile Ted Cruz loves The Princess Bride.

        I mean, sure, but there is plenty of art I like and hate the artist. Liking some movies seems like a weird “tipping” point for all these republicans calling Trump out on his rhetoric. I mean it’s not like what Trump said about Reiner is out of character.

          I get what you mean. The cozying up to a known rapist by an accused rapist wasn’t enough for him to part ways but this is? It’s hard for me to not be cynical but Mick has been called out this stuff before. The best time to part ways with bad people is when you find out they’re bad. The second best time is meow.
