It was Hogan’s first appearance since endorsing President-elect Donald Trump during the election season. Hogan was seen in Trump’s corner during a rally at Madison Square Garden in October and the Republican National Convention in July.
He has also appeared on the “PBD Podcast” and revealed why he decided speak out, pointing to an assassination attempt on Trump over the summer.
“When they tried to kill Trump, someone I knew personally, it hit me even worse,” he said. “I got off the couch and said ‘this is it, this has to stop’. I don’t want to divide my audience as a businessman, but now I don’t care. This is now a spiritual revolution.
“This guy goes out trying to help people. He wants to help millions of people. He wants to help America. Have God in our country, in our homes, in our schools, and I said, ‘I can’t stand it.'”
Hogan’s appearance in Los Angeles came about two months after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the election.
