UFC CEO Dana White calls Himself ‘Not Political’ in CNN interview

UFC CEO Dana White continues to make the rounds, including several interviews about his friendship with former President Donald Trump.

White, 55, has made his stance clear that he doesn’t care about politics despite endorsing Trump at the 2024 RNC just days after Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pa.

White didn’t hold back when CNN’s Laura Coates asked Friday evening about the current political climate, including Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.

“I don’t judge people by their politics and who they vote for or any of that stuff,” Dana White said (H/T MediaITE). “Listen, I don’t know Kamala. She seems like she’s a nice person. I have nothing against her whatsoever and, like I said, I’m not political, but do I think that she’s fit for the job? I do not, personally,”

Dana White has been seen with Donald Trump at several UFC events over the past few years, including UFC 302 in June in Newark, N.J., which was headlined by Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier for the lightweight title.

Regardless of poltical ideals, White went onto say that poltics are a no-fun topic and that regardless of who becomes the 47th president, no one will be happy.
“But either way, she’s going to say other nasty stuff about both of them. It goes both ways,” White said. “And as voters, what we need to do is cut through all the BS and you have to look at who do you think is best fit to run the country for the next four years. That is our job as voters. All of this stuff is a bunch of nasty BS.”

It’s safe to assume that White will be sticking to what his heart desires as he does not disclose many beliefs that would be considered non-fighting-relateed. The election will happen right around UFC 309, which, at press time, does not have a confirmed date.

So Dana White was “called out” by a CNN anchor for his endorsement of Donald Trump?

“Called out” because he dares support Donald Trump?

Gimme a break. The liberals are such pussies. And hypocritical to boot.

The media outlet that wrote that article and said CNN called him out was BJPenn.com. Last I check BJ is a right wing conservative who supports Trump.

CNN did not say they called him out.

Hasn’t the guy literally been campaigning for Trump? Dana wants to have his cake and eat it too. He had a complete meltdown on Saturday when a journalist asked him about the flag policy after a UFC employee took down Belal’s Palestinian flag. I don’t even think Dana knew that had happened but his reaction was horrible.

I don’t think Dana personally cares about flags but his higher ups probably do and it triggers him that someone wanted him to clarify the flag policy. But as the spokesperson for the UFC he should have the answer to that question. Or at least say he doesn’t know instead of acting weird and hostile.

Here’s the vid , regarding the Pali Flag

I can buy that he’s not really political. The Trump association may be because they’re friends, but also because Dana absolutely loves outside attention and being with Trump gives it to him.

He used to campaign for Harry Reid a lot in Nevada.

And he donates to both sides according to this https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?cand=&cycle=&employ=&name=dana+white&order=desc&sort=D&state=NV&zip=
