The Justice Department has sent a warning letter to WWE about its plan to distribute free WWE swag at polling places in Connecticut where company co-founder Linda McMahon is on the ballot.
Mistaking DOJ for a pro wrestling goon, Linda’s husband Vince McMahon started talking smack, accusing the department of politically motivated meddling:
WWE is being threatened by the U.S. Department of Justice of the Obama Administration…. This is clearly heavy-handed bullying from big government and would appear to be desperate political activity in closely contested elections in Connecticut.
Nonetheless, WWE has pulled the plug on the freebies-for-voters plan.
