Joe Rogan had pushed back against critics who, in his view, were attempting to turn the UFC Freedom 250 event into a “partisan thing.” He argued that simply attending the card did not mean fans or participants automatically supported President Trump’s stance on Iran or other political issues.
However, Hunter Biden appeared unimpressed by the 58-year-old commentator’s stance. He publicly took aim at Rogan, criticizing his views and adding another layer to the growing debate surrounding the UFC Freedom 250 event.
The son of former US President Joe Biden began by saying he would welcome the opportunity to speak with Rogan face-to-face and explain why many people were upset about the event being held on the South Lawn of the White House.
He also acknowledged the roles Rogan and UFC CEO Dana White played in helping build the promotion into a global powerhouse, describing the UFC as a genuine “success story.”
Biden further emphasized that the criticism has nothing to do with the fans who attended the event. “For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights,” he wrote.
He eventually turned to the central issue that, in his view, made UFC Freedom 250 a source of controversy.
“My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment. The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people,” Biden’s tweet read.
