A UFC fighter made a joke about former First Lady Michelle Obama and the Democratic Party’s public establishment has collectively lost its mind about that, or at least pretended to, utterly freaking out and melting down over the idea that the administration is not going to publicly self-flagellate over an entertainer joking about her.
Such was something that far-left and otherwise underwhelming United States Senator from Georgia Raphael Warnock insisted when he appeared on MS NOW’s “All In” program after the UFC fight on the White House lawn in which one of the fighters made ajoke about Michelle Obama being a man. Clutching his pearls in an angry reaction to that, Sen. Warnock insisted that bigotry “seeps out of the White House like poison every single day.”
Beginning by commenting on the state of the Senate races that are ongoing in Georgia, Warnock said, praising sitting Senator Jon Ossoff, “Jon Ossoff is my brother. I say that and I mean it. We didn’t know each other until we got in this fight together, and we certainly didn’t know that, our races would be so consequential for the future of the country.”
Continuing, Warnock insisted that much as the Democrats had flipped the Senate in 2021, this present election would be highly important. He said, “Obviously, running for the Senate in any circumstance is a big deal. But who knew that Georgia would flip the Senate and then open the path? Give us all a way to fight, in 2021.”
Then, addressing host Chris Hayes, he argued that the election is a fight over where America wants to be as a nation, which is true enough, saying, “So welcome again, Chris, to, battleground Georgia in a moment. Where we are facing yet another election. But more than an election, this is a righteous fight that we are in. This is a battle that has to do with the soul of the country, the character of the nation.”
Using that as an intro to start bashing and attacking President Trump, he insisted, “What kind of nation do we want to be at the very top? We have all of this naked, unabashed corruption. I don’t know if Donald Trump was a billionaire or not when the first time he ran, he said he was. But we all know he is now. He has made more money in this year and a half than he’s made in his entire life.”
That is when he threw his hissy fit about the Michelle Obama joke. He insisted, “Georgians have a clear choice. Do you want somebody who’s going to fight for Donald Trump with all of his corruption, with all of his costs, with all of the bigotry that seeps out of the White House like poison every single day?”

Building on that, he added that the Trump White House was evil because it had engaged in “insulting, the first the former first lady of the United States of America with the old, ugly, caricatures that have been a part of our nation’s past.” He then said, concluding, “Or do we want to move forward? That that’s the choice. And I’m glad to be in this fight with Jon Ossoff.”
