We’re not entirely sure what Oliver Darcy was thinking when he went after Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson for this Instagram post but then again, he works for CNN so … eh. Perhaps the guy who spent weeks and weeks going after Alex Jones and stalking his feed until he could pressure Twitter into getting rid of him felt empowered to pick a fight with the People’s Champ?
Either way, this didn’t end well for Oliver:
This Instagram post from @TheRock did not age well. Reached out to his publicist several times today to see if he has any new thoughts on MBS, but no response. pic.twitter.com/N538sD52X1

So basically a bunch of famous people had dinner with Mohammed bin Salman back in April and Johnson was one of them. It would seem Darcy has taken issue with Johnson for sharing his experience on Instagram (which if you bother to actually read it not all that controversial).
K.
Hey, at least he tagged him so Johnson could defend himself.
Such a silly, clickbait post, Oliver. Im surprised you’d post this. Go back and really read my words. I listened and learned then. As I listen and learn now. C’mon man

The only thing that would have made this tweet cooler is if ‘The Rock’ had told Darcy to take his tweet, shine it up real nice, turn that sumb*tch sideways, and shove it up his candy as*.
But we suppose his calling out Darcy’s clickbait will have to do.
You had dinner with a brutal authoritarian, playing a role in his PR campaign to convince the West that he was, as you’d say, someone with “modern views.” Then you gushed about it on social media. Ppl look up to you. Do you regret giving him a platform? Has your opinion changed? https://t.co/yPHazTLIRt

Oh FFS.
Johnson hardly gushed but we suppose Darcy has to justify his clickbait.
Don’t be surprised this is what CNN has been best at lately, cheap clickbait while ignoring that they have contributors that pal around with Louis Farrakhan who’s a blatant anti-Semite, they gave Fidel Castro heroic coverage when he died too like he wasn’t a brutal murderer.

CNN really and truly has fallen so very, very far.
Don't pay attention to hacks who intentionally try to distort things, Dwayne. Keep doing your thing. Any reasonable person can appreciate and understand what you wrote.

Any reasonable person definitely leaves out Darcy and the other hacks at CNN.
That’s the world we live in right now @TheRock But good on you for standing strong and solid and listening and learning-

So what @TheRock is basically saying to @CNN. pic.twitter.com/xABVeOHSQM
