The Freedom 250 White House UFC fight gave leftists another reason to be upset after one fighter’s comments about the former first lady.
UFC fighter Josh Hokit outraged the internet when he declared the ex-First Lady Michelle Obama “is a man!” during his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. Hokit won his heavyweight fight against Derrick White with a second-round knockout before making the statement.

Predictably, this left many people upset, such as former NFL star Robert Griffin III.
Josh Hokit won the biggest fight of his career at the White House and decides to finish his interview by calling Michelle Obama a Man.
What a disgrace.
It takes a really small man to use his biggest moment to attack a woman by calling her a man.
Especially with the history…

It takes a really small man to use his biggest moment to attack a woman by calling her a man. Especially with the history behind calling black women men,” Griffin wrote.
Jessica Tarlov, co-host of Fox News’s The Five, also popped off on the clip.

The Democrats are all about the trans agenda.
Why wouldn’t they consider this a compliment to Michelle Obama?
