Dana White On Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
Dana White has worked with Donald Trump in the past as Trump opened his casino doors to the UFC when the sport was nearly bankrupt. Later on, Trump would finance the MMA organization Affliction. More recently, Dana White has given speeches to the Republican Party campaigning for presidential nominee Donald Trump.
The UFC President and RNC Speaker White spoke with CNN’s Laura Coates to discuss the upcoming election. Coates is CNN’s chief legal analyst with a background as a federal prosecutor. Dana White explained his disdain for the media which includes CNN and FOX. He said:
“But either way, she’s going to say other nasty stuff about both of them. It goes both ways. And as voters, what we need to do is cut through all the BS and you have to look at who do you think is best fit to run the country for the next four years. That is our job as voters. All of this stuff is a bunch of nasty BS.”
“You guys are really bad. Fox is bad. Everybody’s bad. Cut through the BS and vote for who you think is most fit to run the country.”
On the upcoming election, White said:
“I don’t judge people by their politics and who they vote for or any of that stuff. I don’t know Kamala. She seems like she’s a nice person. I have nothing against her whatsoever, and like I said, I’m not political. But do I think that she is fit for the job? I do not.
Politics are the most disgusting, nasty, it’s atrocious what is said in politics. And things that are being said on one side are being said on the other side, too. [Similar things are being said] about Trump and, you know, his choice for vice president. It goes both ways. This isn’t like, ‘Oh my god, look what’s being said about Kamala.’ It goes both ways.” [H/t MMAWeekly]
