UFC chief Dana White has launched a scathing attack on Kamala Harris after her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying her potentially presidency should ‘scare the s***’ out of people.
White, who is close friends with Donald Trump, posted his comments on X on Thursday night.
Sharing a clip of Harris giving a rambling answer to Colbert upon being asked what she’d change if she wins next month’s election, White wrote: ‘I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE.
‘She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her head.
‘This election is very important and this along with the many other clips of her attempting to answer questions should SCARE THE S*** OUT OF YOU!!!’

In her answer to Colbert, Harris said: ‘Well, I’m obviously not Joe Biden. That would be one change.
‘But also it’s important to say with 28 days to go, I’m not Donald Trump. And so when we think about the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like, where I could be elected president, it is about, frankly, erm, I love the American people and I believe in our country.
‘I love that it is our character and nature to be an ambitious people. We have aspirations, we have dreams. We have incredible work ethic. And I just believe we can create and build upon the success we have achieved in a way that we continue to grow opportunity.’
White has made no secret of his support for the Republican party and even revealed last month that he spoke to Trump about an hour before he debated Harris on live television.
White explained: ‘I don’t know how it went or what happened, but I know he took it seriously. He said: “I look at this like a heavyweight fight. I’m not taking anybody lightly.”‘
‘I talked to him when I was coming here, right when we got off the plane. I was in LA today.
‘First of all, it’s the second time he has had to debate. They didn’t like how the debate turned out. They want to kick that guy [Biden] out. He’s unfit to run, yet he’s still the President of the United States. Now they bring in somebody who wasn’t elected to actually be in there.’
White has welcomed Trump to UFC events on multiple occasions and his relationship with the UFC goes back to its early years.
White introduced Trump at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin in July

While the sport of MMA was labeled ‘human cockfighting’ and broadly frowned upon, Trump opened his doors, hosting several events in his New Jersey hotels and casinos.
As the sport and the organization moved into the mainstream, UFC bred superstars such as Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey. Trump has remained close with White and is loved by a large portion of the UFC roster and fanbase.
When the former President attends a fight night, he is typically given a special walkout before the main card and sits cage-side next to White.
Back in June, White praised Trump for his resilience and his love for the United States.
‘You take any of the greatest fighters of all time, Trump is No 1. The most resilient human being I’ve ever met in my life,’ White told One Nation with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News.
‘Why keep doing this? You have money, you have a great life… why keep doing this? The one thing I can tell you – and this is a fact – this guy loves this country.’
‘He loves all Americans – regardless of what color, religion or whatever. He’s not a racist, he’s a good human being,’ White added.
‘He loves America and he cares about this country. Period. End of story. If he wasn’t that type of guy, I would never even associate myself with him.’
White also introduced Trump at the Republican National Convention in July.
