Prominent Trump supporter could get into big trouble after bloody confrontation in a bar

Hulk Hogan's appearance at an Ohio bar to promote his beer and campaign for Donald Trump was bloody chaos – literally.

A 50-year-old woman needed nine stitches after being hit in the head by a beer at the Thirsty Cowboy in Cleveland, where Hogan was promoting his Real American Beer, reports Cleveland.com. Hogan and his team threw beer into the crowd.

According to the report, there were conflicting reports as to whether Hogan was the one who threw the beer that hit her in the forehead or whether it was someone else on stage.

The bloody incident, which police said “appeared to be an accident,” occurred when Hogan was filmed in the bar talking about becoming violent toward Kamala Harris.

“You want to go crazy? You want me to throw more beer? You want me to throw somebody to the ground? You want me to throw Kamala Harris to the ground?” Hogan said to enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. “I said, do you want me to throw Kamala Harris to the ground?”

Hogan continued, “Should I drop Kamala's leg? Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian? OK, I like that.”

“How-w,” Hogan said, raising his hand in the air in a racist gesture toward Native Americans.

“I’m going to get in trouble for this, brother,” Hogan said to someone.

“That wasn't me. It was the beer that spoke,” he said.

These comments came after some publicly called for a tone down of the extreme rhetoric following the failed assassination attempt on Trump.

A bullet grazed the former president's ear as he turned his head during a speech in Pennsylvania.

Hogan recently gave a speech at the Republican National Convention in which he called the former president an “American hero.”

Hogan received a standing ovation when he stood on the main stage and ripped off his shirt, revealing a red “Make America Great Again” shirt.

“As an entertainer, I try to stay out of politics,” Hogan said, breaking character briefly. “I can't stay silent any longer.”
