On 24 February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated an invasion of Ukraine, and since then, people around the world have been appalled by the conflict. As a result, the vast majority of people, including Russian citizens, have implored Putin to cease his actions before things get worse, fearing escalation could lead to a third world war.
Now, Glenn Jacobs, the Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, and best known to wrestling fans as Kane, has taken to Twitter to share his take on the situation. And while there has been some support for his comments that include the opinion that the US should not get involved, there has also been a large amount of backlash towards him. Especially seemingly showing some admiration for the Russian leader.
It has been suggested by multiple individuals that Twitter itself is very left-leaning, and as such, a republican mayor will almost always receive criticism. But, of course, at the end of the day, Jacobs is entitled to share his opinion on the platform, and based on Social Blade, he gains on average 50 new followers per day. Although how many of these are because of his political views and how many for his past WWE career isn’t something that can be determined.
