However, once Johnson was to take a stand on an issue like abortion, people on one side or the other will tune out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople in the military assume The Rock is pro-military,\u201d Stern said. \u201cPeople in the police force believe The Rock is a law and order guy. People who are Trumpy believe The Rock really secretly loves Trump. The people who are liberals are going \u2018You know what? The Rock is with us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not Johnson supports abortion or opposes it, once he declares his position, \u201cOops! Suddenly people don\u2019t like The Rock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While McConaughey has been more vague regarding his partisan positions (other than on gun control), Johnson torpedoed his neutral image this past election when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-backs-biden-in-first-ever-endorsement-calls-kamala-harris-certified-badass\">he endorsed<\/a> President Joe Biden and admitted to crying \u201cmanly tears\u201d after he was declared the winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a political independent &#038; centrist, I\u2019ve voted for both parties in the past,\u201d Johnson tweeted. \u201cIn this critical presidential election, I\u2019m endorsing [Joe Biden] &#038; [Kamala Harris]. Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, KINDNESS &#038; RESPECT. We must ALL VOTE[.]\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon Biden\u2019s election, Johnson admitted to crying \u201cmanly tears\u201d over the prospect of Harris being vice president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to shoot this yesterday, when the news broke, but I got a little emotional, admittedly so, I got a little emotional yesterday, manly tears of course, I may have cried a tear or two, or ten, but they were all very manly. All my tears are manly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson went on to say that he got emotional because of what he felt his vote \u201crepresented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy vote represented humanity. My vote represented decency,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt represented the values and the principles of which we teach our little girls. My vote also, for me, represented the importance of just being a good, decent human being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding McConaughey, Stern said that once he makes his gun control positions official while running for governor of Texas, the situation will get a lot more heated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as he answers that, half of Texas is going to take him and throw him out a window,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCall me old fashion, but you\u2019ve got to do a little public service before you get an important job like the governor,\u201d Stern concluded.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
