\n\t\u201cI understand that the Obama\u2019s are public figures but I\u2019m completely against saying nasty and false things about people\u2019s families,\u201d White wrote Time magazine in a text message. \u201cEveryone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter winning his heavyweight fight against Derrick Lewis on the White House lawn, Hokit was interviewed on the Paramount+ livestream by Joe Rogan. Unexpectedly, Hokit shouted into the microphone, \u201cAnd lastly,\u00a0Michelle Obama\u00a0is a man. Am I right, America?,\u201d drawing cheers and screams from the live audience. The incendiary remarks were roundly criticized on social media but went unaddressed throughout the remainder of the broadcast. Rogan appeared flustered and backed away from the fighter, only saying, \u201cLadies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhite House spokesman Steven Cheung\u00a0dodged a question about Hokit\u2019s comment, saying, \u201cHe had a great win last night. He showed toughness and the ability to pressure his opponent both on his feet and on the ground,\u201d according to CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bloody spectacle \u2014 a celebration of America\u2019s 250th anniversary that also happened to land on Donald Trump\u2019s 80th birthday \u2014 was otherwise largely avoidant of partisan politics. UFC athletes (both from the U.S. and other countries) walked out the White House and into the octagon, with Trump, the First Lady Melania and UFC CEO Dana White sitting cageside. The fighters marched alongside U.S. veterans and first responders as people dressed as Revolutionary War soldiers stood guard. The Zac Brown Band performed the national anthem.<\/p>\n
