Dana White, the boss of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has defended President Donald Trump against racism accusations in a recent podcast interview. White, a long-time friend of Trump’s, argued that Trump cannot be racist because of his close relationship with the late Michael Jackson.
According to Mediaite, White appeared on a podcast with The New Yorker editor David Remnick, where he claimed that Trump’s friendship with Jackson proves he is not a racist. White pointed to a recent documentary about Jackson’s life, which shows Trump defending the pop star. “You know, the Michael movie just came out, and you see all these videos now popping up of Trump defending Michael Jackson and the type of person that he was,” White said.
