Am I right, America?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN reported that Trump, who was seated in the front row, \u201cappeared to show a half-smile\u201d immediately after Hokit\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the backlash to the remark was swift, with UFC scrubbing it from its online content, including a YouTube video of Hokit\u2019s interview with Rogan, from which the remark was edited out. <\/p>\n<p>UFC boss and Trump ally Dana White even condemned the remark, telling Time magazine, \u201cI understand that the Obamas are public figures, but I\u2019m completely against saying nasty and false things about people\u2019s families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone knows my position on free speech, but I hate that kind of nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House, for its part, declined to condemn the remark, sparking a heated discussion on Monday evening\u2019s edition of <i>Newsnight.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people in the White House, [Communications Director] Steven Cheung, the president, nobody has the guts to say, \u2018That\u2019s inappropriate, it shouldn\u2019t have been said, it\u2019s wrong.\u2019 Why?\u201d host Abby Phillip said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1533\">Why Trump\u2019s \u2018Peace Deal\u2019 Is a Sham: Rothkopf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jennings, a frequent defender of the president, said that he personally would condemn the remarks if asked, telling Phillip, \u201cI would do that, I would say we don\u2019t endorse these comments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut why won\u2019t they?\u201d Phillip responded.<\/p>\n<p>While Jennings admitted that he didn\u2019t know exactly why since he has not spoken to anyone in the White House about the remark, he ventured a guess as to why the Trump administration has remained silent on the shocking slur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy assumption is that they get asked to condemn things all the time, everybody everywhere that says something, they\u2019re constantly being asked to condemn things, and my guess is they just sort of have a policy not to do it,\u201d Jennings offered.<\/p>\n<p>The panel appeared flabbergasted by this bizarre excuse, with Phillip firing back with, \u201cAren\u2019t there some things that they should condemn? The idea that they always have to condemn things is not an excuse for not condemning things that should be condemned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charles Blow then added that the president cannot condemn the remarks because he has also amplified conspiracy theories about Michelle Obama, including sharing posts calling her an anti-white racist. Blow also mentioned the president\u2019s son, Don Jr., who shared a meme comparing Obama to a man in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Trump came under fire in February after sharing an AI-generated video that featured Barack and Michelle Obama\u2019s faces superimposed on the bodies of apes. While the post was removed, the president declined to apologize, instead blaming his aides and claiming that he had only watched the beginning of the clip and did not know the racist imagery was at the end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody knew that that was in the end,\u201d he told reporters. \u201dIf they would have looked, they would have seen it, and probably they would have had the sense to take it down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he condemned the racist imagery, Trump said, \u201cOf course I do,\u201d but then said he had no message for Americans who were offended by the video.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1531\">Eric Trump Brutally Trolled After Embarrassing DM Leak Scandal<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN Newsnight\u2019s token conservative offered up a bizarre justification for the White House\u2019s failure to condemn a UFC fighter\u2019s controversial comments about Michelle Obama.
