In a recent interview, UFC President Dana White fielded questions about former President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks regarding Haitian immigrants. The comments in question, where Trump allegedly stated, “they’re eating dogs and cats,” have sparked widespread discussion and debate.
White, known for his close relationship with the former president, was asked if he had provided any advice to Trump. However, he remained tight-lipped, stating, “I’ll keep that between me and him.” This response highlights the private nature of their conversations and White’s reluctance to disclose any potential guidance he may have offered.
The UFC president seemed initially unaware of the specific comment, asking for clarification when first questioned. Upon hearing the context, White appeared to suggest that Trump was referring to practices among some Haitian immigrant communities.
This incident comes amidst a heated political climate, with the first presidential debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris recently concluding in Philadelphia. The Harris campaign has already expressed interest in scheduling a second debate, with advisor Brian Fallon tweeting, “That was fun. Let’s do it again.”
As the election season progresses, Trump’s remarks about Haitian immigrants are likely to face further scrutiny. The former president has been known for his controversial statements on immigration throughout his political career, often leading to intense public discourse.
While White didn’t elaborate on Trump’s preparedness for the debate, he did mention that the former president took it seriously, comparing it to a heavyweight fight. “He said, I look at this as like a heavyweight fight. I’m not taking anybody lightly,” White recalled.
