Wednesday night, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted a powerful and pointed video. While he never mentions Trump by name, it’s clear exactly who The Rock is speaking to, in making his passionate plea. He begins his video by asking “Where is our leader at this time, at this time when our country is down on its knees begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain?
Donald Trump has been notoriously one-sided when it comes to issues of protests and demonstrations. He referred to armed white demonstrators who forced their way into a Michigan Capital building as “Good people, who are angry.” On the issue of the Minnesota protesters, Trump called them “thugs” and invoked a saying from a Jim Crow era Sherriff.
Check out The Rock’s post below:

Our country is crippled and on its knees, begging to be heard and pleading for change. Where is our compassionate leader? The leader who unifies and inspires our country at our most painful time when we need it the most. The leader who steps up and takes full accountability for our country and embraces every color in it. The leader who picks our country up off its knees and says you have my word – we got this – and together, change will happen. Where are you? Because we’re all here. Maybe one day that galvanizing leader will emerge. Either way, the process to change has already begun. #normalizeequality #blacklivesmatter
