UFC Fighter Makes Rude Comment About Michelle Obama at White House
Josh Hokit faces criticism after making inappropriate remarks during a live interview following his fight.
A UFC fighter named Josh Hokit got in trouble for saying something mean about Michelle Obama. He made the comment during a TV interview after winning his fight at the White House on Sunday. Michelle Obama was the First Lady when Barack Obama was president. Many people are angry at Hokit for his rude words.
The fight took place on the South Lawn of the White House during an event called 'UFC Freedom 250.' After Hokit won his fight, he talked to Joe Rogan, who works for UFC. At the end of the interview, Hokit looked at the camera and made a mean comment about Michelle Obama. He repeated a false story that some people spread online about the former First Lady.
Many famous people criticized Hokit for his words. Robert Griffin III is a former NFL player who now works on TV. He wrote on social media that Hokit was being disgraceful. Griffin said it was wrong to attack a woman, especially using words that have been used to hurt Black women throughout history.
The Democratic National Committee also responded to Hokit's comments. They posted a picture of Michelle Obama online. They said she 'lives in their heads rent-free,' meaning some people can't stop thinking about her. Even Dave Portnoy, who usually supports President Trump, said Trump should speak out against what Hokit said.
The UFC event at the White House was unusual because it mixed sports and politics. President Trump has been friends with UFC and its boss Dana White for many years. Trump posted on his social media that the event was 'incredible.' He said the White House had never looked more beautiful during the event.
It takes a really small man to use his biggest moment to attack a woman by calling her a man.
