As the 2024 election moves closer, Dana White joined CNN to give his thoughts on some political questions.
Things turned sour when Dana was presented with a question about Donald Trump. The UFC CEO has long been a strong admirer of Trump and defends the former president of the United States at any opportunity he gets.
During an appearance on CNN with Laura Coates, Dana White gave his thoughts on the 2024 presidential race and revealed his thoughts on Kamala Harris.
“Yeah, I don’t judge people by their politics and who they vote for or any of that stuff,” Dana said. “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 is fit for the job? I do not.”
“Politics are the most disgusting, nasty, it’s atrocious what is said in politics. And things that are being said on one side are being said on the other side, too.”
“[Similar things are being said] about Trump and, you know, his choice for vice president. It goes both ways. This isn’t like, ‘Oh my god, look what’s being said about Kamala.’ It goes both ways.”
“They’re both saying it, and like you said, it’s already heated up and gotten nasty. And like you said earlier, it’s only going to get nastier. That’s politics. It is what it is and it definitely goes both ways.”
He later defended Trump’s comments, insisting that anything said between both parties ahead of the election shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
“But either way, [Kamala Harris is] going to say other nasty stuff. It goes both ways.”

“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. All of it. Who’s best fit to run the country? You as a voter, that’s what you need to decide.”
“Not, ‘Oh my god, he said this.’ And, ‘Oh my god, she said that.’ There’s going to be a lot of that over the next several months.”
Dana White then took aim at the media, insinuating that they also cause problems amongst voters.
“Especially the media. Cut through all the BS [from] the media on both sides.”
“You guys are really bad. FOX is bad. Everybody is bad. Cut through the BS and vote for who you think is the most fit to run the country. That’s our job as voters.”
