MAGA rages as UFC champ booted from White House event: 'This is how you lose young voters'

Prominent MAGA figures expressed outrage Sunday night after Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Sean Strickland – an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump for his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein – was escorted out of the UFC White House event by U.S. Marshalls.The current UFC Middleweight Champion, Strickland previously claimed he was banned from participating in the White House event for making “fun of Israel and Epstein,” and for claiming “Trump is owned by [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu].” He doubled down on his criticisms of Trump after learning of the ban by calling Trump a “f------ pedophile.”And yet, despite the ban, Strickland attended the event but was soon escorted out by law enforcement “due to concerns for [his] safety,” the United States Park Police Public Information Office said in a statement, according to ESPN.Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia expressed outrage at the news, and argued that Strickland’s removal from the event could even hurt Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.“This is exactly how you lose younger male voters, actually a lot more than that demographic,” Greene wrote Sunday night in a social media post on X to her more than 1.7 million followers. “Send in police to haul off an actual American UFC Champion because he used his 1st Amendment and criticized Israel.”Ian Wendt, a prominent MAGA influencer, podcaster and founder of the “Patriot Gear” online apparel shop, called Strickland’s removal “wild,” and came to a dark conclusion about what he believed it represented.“Sean Strickland, the Only American UFC Champion shows up to the 250th Celebration fight night for America and is arrested and escorted out,” Wendt wrote Sunday night in a social media post on X. “All because he criticized the administration, the government and the obvious corruption when it comes to Israel’s influence in both. Wild. Let that sink in for a minute. America is compromised.”Strickland himself responded to the outrage from MAGA figures, issuing thanks to a supposed fan that helped him, briefly, gain entrance to the White House event.“To the fan that snuck me in.. You're a f------ legend and a true [American],” Strickland wrote in a social media post on X to his more than 1 million followers. “You did what the UFC wouldn't.”And this is exactly how you lose younger male voters, actually a lot more than that demographic.Send in police to haul off an actual American UFC Champion because he used his 1st amendment and criticized Israel. https://t.co/7zq4KAIIuZ— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) June 15, 2026

How Trump Reacted to Michelle Obama Slur at White House UFC Fight

President Trump was seen smiling after a UFC fighter used his post-victory interview to shout that former first lady Michelle Obama was a man—a racist right-wing conspiracy theory that has followed her since 2008.“Fuck the speech. Aye, shoutout to Trump for having the balls to put some shit like this on,” Josh Hokit said to Joe Rogan after his second-round knockout of Derrick Lewis at Sunday’s America 250 fight night. “And if I’m gonna say anything, there’s only one person more incredible than the incredible hulk, and that’s my lord and Savior Jesus Christ.… And lastly: Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” “Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy. pic.twitter.com/MCTjdB3slg— Tim Miller (@Timodc) June 15, 2026Hokit was met with a mix of boos and cheers. Another camera showed the president, sitting ringside, reacting to the comment with a light smile. There was no public rebuke or condemnation from anyone present. “‘Michelle Obama is a man’ shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus,” The Bulwark’s Tim Miller posted on X. “What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.”The “transvestigation” into Michelle Obama has been a yearslong effort to spite, harass, demoralize, and delegitimize this country’s first Black first lady. Given the other lies Trump has told about her husband, it’s no wonder he found the crass comment humorous. “With Joe Rogan smiling along,” said journalist Medhi Hasan. “(Of course I don’t need to bore you all by telling you that if this was an event hosted by a Dem president and someone said this about Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan … well … you know the rest…).”
