Celebrities including Bette Midler and Robert De Niro faced widespread online mockery for their anti-Trump concert meant to counter-program his UFC event.
Shane Gillis made it clear that he wasn't a fan of UFC fighter Josh Hokit insulting former First lady Michelle Obama while President Donald Trump had a different reaction.The right-leaning comedian was leaving the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House Sunday night when TMZ asked him what he thought about the false and offensive remark from the 28-year-old mixed martial arts athlete. "Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” Hokit said inside the Octogon during an interview with Joe Rogan. The crowd booed and cheered — Trump apparently smiled while he sat ringside, CNN reported. Gillis told TMZ he didn't agree."I didn't love that," Gillis said. Charlie Cotton, co-managing editor of TMZ DC, asked him in response: "How come?" "Why do you think?" Gillis responded.Trump reportedly praised Hokit on Air Force One on Monday, reported David Gardner for The Swamp, The Daily Beast's Substack."As he flew off to meet world leaders in France today for the G-7 summit, Donald Trump made a point of congratulating by name the UFC fighters who starred in his tawdry cage fight on the White House lawn on Sunday night," Gardner wrote."Among them was Josh Hokit, the repugnant thug who made a vile slur against former First Lady Michelle Obama in an interview with Joe Rogan after he won his bout," Gardner explained.Trump has said in the past that Hokit was his favorite UFC fighter and that he had specifically requested for him to be on the bill for his 80th birthday bash."And it’s not the first time the fighter has tried to spread the baseless conspiracy theory that Obama is a man. He has said it in previous ring interviews," Gardner added.Shane Gillis tells @hicharliecotton he didn't love Josh Hokit calling Michelle Obama a "man" pic.twitter.com/ehiFuQY3wP— TMZ (@TMZ) June 15, 2026
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy on Monday called on President Donald Trump to condemn a UFC fighter's false insult against former first lady Michelle Obama. The vocal Trump supporter said he found the comments from Josh Hokit on Sunday night at the White House lawn inappropriate."There was one moment I do think Trump has to denounce and anybody associated with it has to denounce and that's that crazy fighter guy — I don't even have his name up here — but he won the fight. He took the microphone and he made a derogatory comment about Michelle Obama," Portnoy said.In an interview with Joe Rogan, Hokit said, "Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” The crowd had a mixed reaction, booing and cheering, while Trump appeared to have a smirk on his face."These are UFC guys. They're crazy. They're idiots," he said. "I don't care what you think about the Obamas, or anything, that has to be an immediate denounce. 'Wrong, doesn't speak for me.' I have no problem with the event. I guess you run that risk because these guys are lunatics," Portnoy said."I think you're crying over spilled milk if you are upset about the actual event, but that comment, if you're going to do it, own it and be like 'that was wrong and never should happen,'" he added.Portnoy wasn't the only person to respond to the remark.Right-leaning comedian Shane Gillis told TMZ he didn't agree with what Hokit said during the Freedom 250 UFC event."I didn't love that," Gillis said.Dave Portnoy calls on Trump to denounce the UFC fighter who called Michelle Obama a man at the White House fight:"That has to be an immediate denounce. ...
