Andrew Yang appears on CNN to comment on misclassification of WWE wrestlers as independent contractors

Last week, former 2020 U.S. Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang took to Twitter to make his thoughts known about the story about WWE banning their wrestlers from engaging with third party companies.

Since the story first broke, it has gained some mainstream traction. Yang shared a series of tweets that were directed at Vince McMahon.

Yang made an appearance on CNN over the weekend to further comment on his stance about this issue.

“I’ll do whatever Joe and Kamala help us get to the next age in our country’s history, Ana. I think the post you’re talking about was my categorizing the misclassification of professional wrestlers as independent contractors, which is completely ridiculous.

Given that WWE controls their name and likeness for years and controls their activities in many ways. Anything that Joe and Kamala have for me that they think will help move the country forward, I would love to help.”
