Comedian Nate Bargatze is facing criticism from the left for attending a UFC event at the White House. The event was held to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and patriotism toward the United States.

Backlash from the Left

Despite avoiding politics in his comedy and personal life, Bargatze was photographed at the UFC White House event, which sparked outrage from some on the left. Former television show host W. Kamau Bell attacked Bargatze, saying that by attending the event, he was part of ‘Team Fascism.’

Bell’s comments were shared over 500 times and received over 2,800 likes. The Daily Beast also shared the post, criticizing Bargatze for attending the event.

However, many argue that attending a UFC event at the White House does not necessarily mean endorsing all of the Trump administration’s policies. The event was a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and patriotism, and athletes who have visited the White House to celebrate their championships have not been seen as endorsing the administration’s policies.
