Conservative pundit Alex Jones’ website InfoWars.com responded to WWE’s rebranding of Jack Swagger as a “Real American”, saying that Swagger and his new mouthpiece Zeb Colter were created by Vince and Linda McMahon to “demonize” the Tea Party.
The story states:
“The WWE is playing the race card for the purpose of a gimmick as Swagger prepares to fight Mexican wrestler Alberto Del Rio for the world heavyweight title at Wrestlemania.
During Swagger’s match, commentators Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler joked that Swagger and Colter had received “fan mail” from conservative radio talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Alex Jones.
Twitter users reacted with outrage, slamming the WWE for “crapping all over the Tea Party” by “promoting a Racist, immigrant hating Tea Party character vs a Mexican wrestler.””
