This week’s Cringe-meter was shattered when superstar wrestler/actor John Cena apologized to China — in Mandarin no less!!! Cena’s “I’m a United States Marine” looks and boyish charm have lead many to see him as the all-American hero this country likes to uphold, but boy were we wrong!
His apology, coming as it does at a time when people are finally being allowed to question whether China deliberately unleashed Covid on purpose, is a spit in the eye of all Americans — but 2 possible explanations arise?
Are there more Chinese spies in our midst than just the ones who identify as agents of China?
Yes of course, Cena has a movie coming out and it very much depends on the Chinese market for success, but are he, LeBron, Disney execs and SO MANY OTHERS exchanging secrets at cocktail parties for that dough? It’s 2021 and nothing is impossible.
Are the Chinese holding his family hostage?
The video (on a Chinese website no less) has the look of one of those coerced hostage videos where the victim is being secretly tortured and forced to proclaim his capturer’s greatness. “I love and respect China and Chinese people,” he pleads, looking every bit the compromised American Icon.
But Congressional candidate Lavern Spicer says it best in a tweet:
John Cena “really loves” and “really respects” China. Wonder if it’s their human rights violations or their virus-making skills that sold him?
In any event, at least we know how to pronounce his last name.
It’s “CHY-nuh” not “SAY-nuh”.
