RNC Statement on UFC Freedom 250

Press Release

Washington, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement ahead of tonight’s historic UFC Freedom 250:


"If a Democrat were in the White House, we would be marking America’s 250th birthday with land acknowledgements, trans flags, and Defund the Police activists on the South Lawn,” said Chairman Gruters. “Instead, President Trump has brought the people’s sport to the people’s house, celebrating what makes America great: strength, resilience, and a fighting spirit. Because of President Trump, the White House and Washington, D.C. no longer belong to the elites. They belong to the working class and the patriots that make this country great.”
