A UFC fighter’s recent comment about former first lady Michelle Obama has sparked controversy. During a post-fight speech at the White House, Josh Hokit made a false and offensive remark about Obama, saying ‘Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?’ The crowd responded with a mixture of cheers and boos.

Response from Dana White

Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO and President Dana White called the comment ‘nasty and false’, dismissing it as ‘nonsense’. White stated, ‘I understand that the Obamas are public figures but I’m completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families.’ The White House, however, has not commented on the incident.

The incident has raised questions about the White House’s response to disparaging remarks. President Trump has previously ridiculed Obama, and the White House has not criticized Hokit’s comment. The Democratic Party has responded, with a post on their social media account saying ‘Michelle Obama lives in their heads rent-free’.
