Adam Kinzinger struck a similar tone, laughing with the host as he reacted to Secretary of State Marco Rubio comparing Sunday\u2019s event to the Apollo 11 moon landing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt reminds me, sadly, of kind of the end days of the Roman Empire, with the Colosseum and the gladiators and everything,\u201d Kinzinger said.<\/p>\n<p>The UFC Freedom 250 event has been promoted by Trump, 79, for months, and despite a lawsuit filed by two Virginia residents who argue that the National Park Service unlawfully approved the event and that federal landmarks should not be used for a private, for-profit sports spectacle, it is set to take place on June 14.<\/p>\n<p>Although celebrity names were initially floated as possible attendees, the event\u2014expected to draw an audience of about 4,000\u2014will reportedly be more of a family affair, with members of Trump\u2019s family and MAGA loyalists expected to attend the cage fights.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1317\">Why Trump\u2019s 80th Birthday Bash Is So Fully Corrupt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Construction of the 150-foot-wide arena just outside the White House, dubbed \u201cthe claw,\u201d began in May, and court filings released Wednesday show the president\u2019s birthday bash has ballooned into a $60 million production, requiring nearly 500 portable toilets, hundreds of trucks, up to 900 contractors, and support from at least seven federal agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Rubio, 55, saw it as more than just a big party for the commander-in-chief as he spoke about the event on Thursday at the State Department, standing next to UFC CEO Dana White.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen President Kennedy announced that we were going to put a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth, no one thought that was possible\u2014and we did it,\u201d Rubio said. \u201cWe are a nation founded on doing what no one else dared to do, and no one else aspired to do, and at some level, that\u2019s what this whole company\u2014what UFC has been,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, CNN hosts questioned how the event aligns with traditional White House decorum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuite strange seeing Lincoln looking down at these steps,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan said, referring to the Abraham Lincoln statue in Washington, D.C., as the White House lawn is transformed into a fighting ring for the first time in history. \u201cHe could have never imagined this,\u201d Collins added.<\/p>\n<p>The event, which includes activities scheduled throughout the weekend, is likely to be disrupted only by weather, with lightning emerging as a potential risk at the outdoor venue.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1315\">Trump\u2019s White House UFC Circus Accused of Blinding Pilots<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN hosts and commentators saw echoes of the Roman Empire in the upcoming White House UFC fight.
