Josh Hokit went viral at the highly divisive White House event UFC Freedom 250 after saying, “Michelle Obama is a man.” Donald Trump’s alleged reaction—reported as a half-smile—became part of the clip’s spread as the crowd laughed and social media reacted.
When Josh Hokit got the win at the White House event UFC Freedom 250, the moment might have ended like any other post-fight interview.
Instead, after stepping onto the microphone, the 28-year-old former NFL player and UFC prospect brought up former First Lady Michelle Obama out of nowhere. He told the microphone, “Michelle Obama is a man.”
Hokit then moved to the political figure he’d been framed with for the night, saying, “Shout-out to Trump for having the balls to put some s— like this on,” and adding comments about his “Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Then came the line that drove the clip into viral territory. He shouted into the camera, “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right America?”—while the audience reacted with laughter. Some viewers watching the videos later expressed surprise at what was said.
Joe Rogan did not address the remark. Instead, after Hokit’s comments, Rogan went straight to his own cue, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Hokit.”
In the same spread of coverage, Donald Trump’s alleged reaction to the false statement became another focal point. CNN reported that Trump “appeared to show a half-smile.”
With the clip still circulating, attention has also turned to another headline involving Trump’s family: Trump’s son Eric is making major headlines today.
