There has been so much positivity and so many good vibes in the past week here in America: tourists coming into America for the World Cup and loving our chain restaurants, our grocery stores, our gas stations, our stadiums and our fast food, the New York Knicks pulling out Game 4 and Game 5 and winning the NBA Championship, the English press loudly crashing out about all things involving America and being exposed as miserable wankers. It’s been splendid. So I think many Americans just decided to ignore Donald Trump for a while. Well, Trump hosted UFC Freedom 250 at the White House last night, because he’s turned the People’s House into one big toilet and an ode to toxic and fragile masculinity. Speaking of, one of the UFC winners was Josh Hokit. This guy is disgusting.
While Josh Hokit was a big winner on Sunday night’s UFC Freedom 250 event, his post-match quip was designed to stir up controversy.
After he won his heavyweight fight against Derrick Lewis during the June 14 fight on the White House lawn, Hokit was interviewed on the Paramount+ broadcast by Joe Rogan. At the end, he shouted, “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” seemingly out of nowhere.
Rogan looked flustered but ultimately said nothing to follow besides, “Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit.” His words were not mentioned any further on the broadcast.
This is so disgusting. It’s so typical of Trump and his ugly cronies too – just a few months ago, Trump posted that gross AI video of Barack and Michelle Obama as “monkeys” and the backlash was so huge, Trump had actually had to delete it and blame someone else for posting it. Now he’s hosting obscene UFC fights on what’s left of the White House lawn and giving platforms to these kinds of people. Trump’s aim is complete degradation of the office, the government and the country.

Jerks jerk. 😮💨🙄
It’s just further proof the rapture happened and we’re the left behinds.
Release the files.
Of all the insults to women by men over the centuries the worst they can come with is “She’s a man”?
How pathetic is that? Do men ever stop and think why that is supposed to be an insult? Because they think men are strong, dominant, have leadership qualities etc, etc, etc.
And saying a woman is a man is saying what exactly? That she’s strong, dominant, shows leadership qualities etc etc??
Personally, I’d take that as a compliment but respond that women are all that AND MORE. Also, compassionate, resilient, proble-solvers, multi-taskers etc, etc, etc.
So Josh Hockit, come to me for a lesson about being a woman and about men like you who are quite lacking, intelligence-wise.
Isn’t it bizarre how in the very recent past it was an insult to suggest doing things “like a girl” (you throw like a girl, you run like a girl) has now changed to “she’s a man” about women who are strong… they really can’t make up their minds and sound moronic.
@Emm1, great take. Like when I hear males use the slang for vagina to describe a weak male I reply: so the vagina, which is a muscle that bears children and can withstand THAT plus everything else is the noun you use for weakness? while a penis does nothing and can’t even take a bump into a corner?????
The word you refer to as slang I just call a slur. I like your take on how to respond to it.
@SERAPHINA, good point! 👏😂
@BR, while I understand your take on it as far as it being a slur, I don’t think of it as one because I refuse to acknowledge a word for my body part as a negative. And I also tell men that as well. Plus, I also call my kitty cat one when in a silly mood.
I get that for sure. But when someone uses a word as a pejorative which is often the case for female anatomy, I tend to see that as a slur. Of course, there are instances of male body part names (the d- word?) used as pejoratives so your approach may be better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Im so appalled that such a global event is being held in one of the countries that keeps on egging on wars. 1 of the 2 global bullies, actually.
We all see the consequences, every day
I wish she’d sue the pants off them
This!
Amen!! He’s a POS!! Does this stupid dude realize that him being mixed and his family being from Mexico, that he’s everything that these White Supremists hate!!?? How dumb! Do your research numbnuts! Michelle is a beautiful woman!! These MAGA losers are so jealous of the Obama’s,I wish they would embarrass this ugly fighter dude & insult his manhood and put weirdo in his place for Good!!No class in this group,whenever MAGA gets together expect a lot of lies to be spread — that’s all they do is LIE!! It’s there MO & has been for 10 yrs! Vote Blue and Make America safe again for ALL Americans!! 💙💙💙!!!
Isn’t this the same guy who thought it was a great idea to pretend to vomit during the official weigh in for this fight? What a loser.
The right wing’s obsession with and racism towards Michelle Obama is deranged. Calling her a man is not going to change the fact that she was First Lady of the US.
I think its funny how the Obamas live rent free in these moron’s heads. The Obamas stand for everything the 🍊💩 administration/cultists would love to be, and never will be. So like toddlers who can’t think of anything else to say, they say she is a man. Weak! Reminds me when one of my kids used to argue and argue with me and when he finally couldn’t think of anything else to come at me with, he’d call me a “fatty” in a very a very mean little voice, which always made me bite my tongue so I wouldn’t start laughing. That’s 4 year old behavior when they can’t have a cookie, right?
Michelle Obama is a brilliant, beautiful WOMAN. I know she’s just too powerful for a weak and insecure male like a miserable pos like you to comprehend, but try to calm down and stop being hysterical. You’re embarrassing yourself with this inability to control your emotions.
We’ve got so many individual women on our side of the aisle who have bigger balls than every male MAGAt combined. That doesn’t mean that they’re men, it’s just that these guys are THAT weak and subservient and generally fucking pathetic.
Men are too emotional to be president.
💕
Not at all surprised that a UFC cretin made a misogynistic comment. Plenty of these guys end up being DV and SA perpetrators. They hate women.
And such a sniveling butt-kisser trying to please his lord and master. All of these big “tough” men constantly on their knees for another man.
LMAO! Touché!
As if the general public didn’t need any more confirmation that MAGA is a swamp, and that the UFC and Joe Rogan are misogynoir, insecure men.
Too bad that no one could be bothered to say sorry afterwards, not even the flimsiest of excuses.
And Felon47’s maladministration is confirming yet again that they’re no better than the cultists who voted for them — they’re equally as misogynistic and racist and lacking in any kind of common sense, but most of all decorum.
It’s despicable and absolutely disgusting that no one pushed back AT ALL. They feel completely free to talk about Black women this way, everywhere, but how foul on the WH lawn, where Michelle served this country in a way that made us all briefly proud to be American
This is a refrain of MAGA trolls all over social media. They’re obsessed with trying to smear a beautiful, brilliant, successful, beloved Black woman. They can’t complain about the quality of her work, so instead they attack her appearance with a childish schoolyard taunt.
Variety doing Joe Rogan a favour there because he did not seem flustered at all. I guess the powers that be want to give him some deniability in case some of his audience is grossed out by it.
But zero fluster.
From this point forward, every time Melania Trump tries to whine about how unfair the media or anyone else is to her, she must be asked why she did not immediately condemn this message going out from an event she hosted.
What a vile, brain-dead pig. Every single one of them. I’m disgusted.
The insecurity coming out of these these men is utterly astonishing–as is the inability of about 1/3 of Americans to recognize it for what it is
🎯
Michelle Obama is a freaking queen. They should keep her name out of their disgusting mouths.
Coming from a balding ahole with roid gut. Was the orange p.o.s ringside feeling up the fighters telling them how beautiful they were?
Imagine how sad a person’s life has to be for him to do this with his 15 minutes in the spotlight.
YES! Exactly. He just WON, and the first thing he thinks to do is insult the woman who was married to a president that left office nearly a decade ago?
Michelle Obama was an incredible First Lady, and is still to this day an amazig woman. My previous statement downplays her– I don’t mean it too. But the facts remain that she hasn’t been in the WH for 9 years. Yet THAT is what he says when he wins the fight? It’s so incredibly gross, but also just so terribly STUPID.
Glad to see my tax dollars being used to fund blatant misogyny. Last year this administration was all focused on “fraud, waste and abuse”. What they meant was if it benefits you and me or treats all Americans with respect, it is wrong. THEY, however, can throw an expensive Chuck E. Cheese party for the president and demean a former First Lady. Totally fine.
Tourists love US gas stations? Because they want to pay high prices for petrol? This was an appallingly crass and trashy event which had no business being anywhere the WH, so was very apt for trump.
even these days i believe gas in america is significantly cheaper than in europe. a year and a half ago i was in iceland and it cost about 80 bucks to fill up our ‘fuel efficient’ crossover vehicle.
I think maybe the gas station they were talking about is Buc-ee’s, which has to be seen to be believed lol. I saw social media from Dutch and German fans going to matches in Texas, open mouthed in disbelief at what they were actually seeing. 😀
These cretins are the lowest form of humans.
Shocking, disgusting, abnormal, racist, putrid!!!!!! The president of the United States needs get out now. We are the laughingstock of the world and he personally is a piece of shit with ADVANCED ADVANCED (triple advanced) dementia. Unfathomable.
I am so angry I could spit. What’s lower than Hell, because the bar has dropped below Hell. What is that place called?
The origin of the “Michelle is a man” BS is because there’s an audio of Barack Obama referring to a “Michael” when he means “Michelle.” I heard the audio somewhere, years back.
Yonati, Sorry, but I don’t believe that for a minute. As an ardent Obama supporter (both of them) I have never heard of this anecdote and I don’t believe these jackasses would have read (they can’t) or heard this because it’s so obscure. Or are you just pulling my leg or blaming Barack for creating that horrific, ludicrous lie? Show your receipts. No, it’s racism and sexism.
And I can answer my own question. The place lower than hell is the U.S. It’s right here, where we live.
I googled it. It was a digitally altered sound byte. This is still the origin of the Michelle is a man thing. And of course it’s racist and sexist. I didn’t make it up. Barack Obama is my president. Michelle is the person I’d most like to meet in the world.
He puked on himself at the weight in
