UFC remark at the White House draws Dana White’s rebuke as White House stays silent

A UFC fighter, Josh Hokit, said at a White House event that “Michelle Obama is a man.” Dana White condemned the remark as “nasty and false” and dismissed it as “nonsense,” but the White House declined to condemn or comment on the incident, with communications director Steven Cheung instead praising Hokit's performance. CNN notes the White House’s non-condemnation contrasts with other reactions, and there was no immediate comment from the Obamas’ office at publication.
