CM Punk Calls Out Selective Outrage Over Politics

TLDR

CM Punk addressed the topic of public figures speaking out on politics during an appearance on The Morning Moshpit on February 27, 2026, arguing that "everything's political" and criticizing what he calls selective outrage. Punk, who previously reposted content critical of ICE's actions in Chicago and shared Mayor Brandon Johnson's response to Donald Trump in October 2025, stated that he refuses to censor himself and pointed to athletes' White House visits as an example of unavoidable political engagement. He concluded that people typically oppose political statements until they align with their own beliefs, saying "Everyone always says don't be political until it's their politics — and then they're rooting for it."
