UFC boss Dana White launched a scathing attack on Kamala Harris after her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying her potential presidency should “scare the shit out of” people.
White, a close friend of Donald Trump, posted his comments on X on Thursday night.
Sharing a clip of Harris giving a rambling response to Colbert when asked what she would change if she wins next month’s election, White wrote, “I don’t like posting a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE.”
‘She is the sitting vice president and she is running for president of the United States. She is unable to write a sentence without a teleprompter and even she seems to know that she is in way over her head.
‘This election is very important and this, along with the many other clips of her trying to answer questions, should SCARE YOU VERY MUCH!!!’
White has been an ardent supporter of Trump, whom he often welcomes to UFC events.
Harris appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this week.
In her response to Colbert, Harris said: ‘Well, I’m obviously not Joe Biden. That would be a change.
“But it’s also important to say that it’s 28 days away and I’m not Donald Trump.” And so when we think about the importance of what this next generation of leadership is going to look like, where he could be elected president, it’s about, frankly, I love the American people and I believe in our country.
‘I love that it is our character and nature to be an ambitious people. We have aspirations, we have dreams. We have an incredible work ethic. And I just believe that we can build and build on the success that we’ve achieved in a way that continues to increase opportunities.”
White has made no secret of his support for the Republican Party and even revealed last month that he spoke with Trump about an hour before debating Harris on live television.
White explained, “I don’t know how it was or what happened, but I know he took it seriously.” He said: “I see this as a heavyweight fight. I’m not taking anyone lightly.”
‘I spoke to him when I was coming here, just when we got off the plane. I was in Los Angeles today.
‘First of all, this is the second time you have had to debate. They didn’t like how the debate turned out. They want to fire that guy (Biden). He is not eligible to run, but he is still the president of the United States. Now they bring someone who was not chosen to be there.”
White has welcomed Trump to UFC events on multiple occasions and his relationship with the UFC dates back to his early years.
White introduced Trump at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin in July
Trump often sits next to White next to the Octagon when he attends UFC events.
While the sport of MMA was labeled “human cockfighting” and widely frowned upon, Trump opened its doors and hosted several events at his New Jersey hotels and casinos.
As the sport and organization became more mainstream, the UFC produced superstars like Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey. Trump has remained close to White and is loved by a large portion of the UFC roster and fan base.
When the former president attends a fight night, he is typically given a special outing before the main card and sits in the cage next to White.
In June, White praised Trump for his resilience and love for America.
“If you take any of the greatest fighters of all time, Trump is number one. The most resilient human being I’ve ever met in my life,” White told One Nation with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News.
‘Why keep doing this? You have money, you have a great life…why keep doing this? The only thing I can tell you, and it’s a fact, is that this guy loves this country.
‘He loves all Americans, no matter their color, religion or whatever. “He’s not racist, he’s a good human being,” White added.
‘He loves America and cares about this country. Period. End of story. If I wasn’t that kind of person, I wouldn’t even associate with him.
White also introduced Trump at the Republican National Convention in July.
