"Did you people come here tonight to vote for Kamala?" he asked the crowd, receiving a round of boos.

"Or... did you guys come here to vote for Donald Trump?" Hogan, 71, continued to a roar of cheers.

Some social media users were disgusted to see that the athlete was given a platform after his initial comments, with one person tweeting, "A racist prick supporting another racist prick!"

During that speech, the Hogan Knows Best alum also referred to Trump's past comments in which he poked fun at Harris, 59, for talking about being both Indian and Black.

"Is Kamala a chameleon?" Hogan asked. "Is she Indian?"

While he received some cheers for his shocking words, he admitted, "I'm gonna get heat for that one."

"That was not me that was the beers talking," Hogan added.

Hogan has been a vocal supporter of the ex-POTUS, 78, this election and even spoke at the Republican National Convention this summer.

"I tried to stay out of politics, but after everything that's happened to our country over the past four years and everything that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent," the athlete told the crowd, referring to the assassination attempt against Trump. "Over my career, I've been in the ring with some of the biggest, some of the baddest dudes on the planet. Donald Trump is the toughest of them all."

While Hogan hasn't run for office, he said he would be a strict leader if he ever did.

"We need somebody in there that’s got some common sense, you know what I’m saying? So if you need a president or a vice president, I’ll volunteer and take this country over, and I’ll rule with an iron fist, a flat tax, nothing but common sense," he stated during a Fox & Friends interview. "I know right from wrong, brother!”

TMZ reported on Hogan's outing in Rhode Island.
