Mick Foley has released a new statement.
The WWE Hall of Famer has been one of the prominent wrestling voices speaking up against the actions of the current US administration and ICE, even cutting ties with WWE over the issue. In the spree, he released a new video statement on his YouTube channel recently, appealing to the general public.
The Hardcore legend noted that he recently saw a poll saying 65% of Americans are against the actions of ICE, which means that 35% support the cruel treatment of fellow humans and he refuses to believe that. He noted that he is talking to people who are not too far gone and can still think for themselves:
Now, if you’re one of those people — like a close relative of mine who certainly seems to feel like Alex Pretti and Renee Good deserve to die — then I’m not talking to you. Thank you for your support, and you can just, you know, watch it and leave a mean comment or get out of the conversation.
The United States of America Is Better Than This: Mick Foley
Mick Foley then discussed his experience of meeting US citizens from all walks of life while being on the road as a wrestler. The former World Champion said that he refuses to believe the people who treated him with kindness during time on the road would turn a blind eye to this problem:
Many people might not believe this, but I firmly believe the United States of America is better than this. America is better than zip-tying senior citizens. America is better than chasing down agricultural workers or abducting day laborers at Home Depot. America is better than using children for bait.
The wrestling veteran ended his statement, appealing to people to use the power of truth and make a difference by using their voice to spread the message.
