00:00Cody Rhodes reacts to backlash over January 6th tweet.
00:04Cody Rhodes has reacted to the claims that he's a Republican.
00:07Speaking on comedian Burt Kreischer's BurtCast, reigning undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes
00:13recounted the backlash he received for a tweet he posted back in 2020.
00:18He posted a GIF with the caption, January 6th, bring it,
00:22on the day the U.S. Capitol in Washington was attacked following Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election.
00:29Cody Rhodes mentioned that the tweet was to promote Go Big Show, a television series he starred in.
00:34He noted that he wasn't aware of what was going on in the U.S. Capitol when he posted the tweet,
00:39but people took it out of context and ended up assuming he was a Republican.
00:43So the Capitol riots were January 6th, right?
00:47Go Big Show, we debuted the second season on January 6th, and it lives in infamy,
00:52especially because I'm... I try not to be on socials as much,
00:56but I still can get pretty gotten to about a moment here and there.
00:59But I put a GIF of me in ring, going like this,
01:03Come on!
01:04And all I wrote was,
01:05January 6th, and it's me doing that,
01:08because not enough people watch Go Big Show.
01:10Speaking further,
01:12Cody Rhodes said that his family has been moderate or liberal,
01:15and described himself as moderate.
01:18I can't explain to them.
01:19No, no.
01:21It was a show that we were doing,
01:22and it really checks the box,
01:24because there's a group of people that's just insisting on,
01:26That guy's clearly a Republican.
01:28He's had a Trump hat before.
01:30He has a neck tat.
01:31He's from Georgia.
01:32He's clearly...
01:33Whereas my family is super moderate.
01:36A fairly lifetime liberal family.
01:39We've been all over the map, sure.
01:41But those people...
01:43There's no way I'm convincing them.
01:45I mean, it's the U.S. flag on the side of my neck.
01:47It would be a waste of my time to try in life.
01:51Hey, well, I think a little differently than you'd perhaps perceive,
01:55but okay.
01:56I'm very moderate,
01:58so that means I have no voice.
02:00Like, no voice, Cody Rhodes said.
