UFC fighter Josh Hokit declares "Michelle Obama is a man" on live TV

Absolutely disgusting. It's not "free speech" if you say something incredibly offensive while on the job.

Slander? Is it slander to call someone trans? I'm no lawyer, so I don't know all the crimes he can be charged with. I doubt he would be convicted if he was prosecuted. Fighters talk shit all the time and nobody thinks that much about it. It's an ugly accusation, but I think Michelle will ignore this.

...and Michelle Obama is a public figure, so she has a higher bar to clear to be success in a defamation suit. There's also the fact that no one in their right mind reasonably believes Michelle Obama is a man. Yes, she will ignore it, especially since it comes from a guy with a micropenis.

I knew it wasn't a crime, exactly, but couldn't think of the word for it. And you're right, Michelle Obama is quite obviously a woman, but there are a lot of people out there who aren't in their right minds. An astounding number of people. They believe all that QAnon shit and they'll believe anything else they're told. I wish there was some way to educate this bunch, but they're probably hopeless. I guess it would be a success if we could just get them to tune out.

In many jobs, such as Starbucks, McDonalds, etc., you could get fired for even cursing in front of customers. He said this in an interview while still on duty.

bigot and racist who's reportedly said a lot of hateful... stuff, was invited to the White House by the same oval office SQUATTER who posted the Obamas as monkeys, to declare from the nation's Capitol that America's only Black first lady is a man.

Which only, once again, makes ME wonder how all of those 'Blacks for Trump' jackasses like Unc Timmy Scott, Donalds, that pastor clown Mark Burns, et al, reconcile their continued support for this kind of VENOM.

Though I've little doubt they'll somehow manage still, via their usual aw shucks shuffling, s-eating SUBSERVIENCE to white supremacy.

President Donald Trump was captured on video “smiling” Sunday after an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter dropped a shockingly "offensive” and false remark about former First Lady Michelle Obama during the UFC event at the White House, CNN reported.

Mixed martial artist Joshua Hokit, 28, defeated his opponent Derrick Lewis Sunday night at the White House UFC bout, and after his victory, shouted an inflammatory and false claim targeting the former first lady......

Hokit’s remarks also elicited a response from Trump, who was seated in the first row at the event.

In a brief moment captured on camera, Trump, seated first row at the ‘Octagon,’ appeared to show a half-smile seconds after the false remark, which has previously circulated online,” wrote CNN’s Alejandra Jaramillo.

Back in February, Trump faced rare bipartisan outrage after posting a video on his social media platform Truth Social that briefly depicted former President Barack Obama and the first lady as primates in the jungle. The blowback was so fierce that Trump – who denied being aware that the segment of the video he posted included the racist depiction – ultimately deleted the post.
