Former president Donald Trump suggested a separate UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) league for migrants. Trump is currently being criticized for such a discriminatory remark as he previously claimed that illegal immigrants were violent.
At a Faith and Freedom Coalition event in Washington, D.C. on the 22nd, Trump shared a story of when he had asked UFC President Dana White to start “migrant leagues of fighters.” He added, “Remember this, these migrants are tough. I think the migrant guy might win.”
He added, “Dana didn’t like the idea too much, but I don’t think it’s the worst idea I’ve ever had.” Trump made the same remarks at a campaign rally in Philadelphia that day. The Washington Post pointed out that this is a pattern of Trump using dehumanizing language when mentioning immigrants.
Trump also sparked outrage in December last year when he said that immigrants were “poisoning the blood.”
White responded to Trump’s migrant UFC league proposal, saying, “It was a joke.”
