Professional mixed martial arts fighter Bryce Mitchell made headlines and embarassed UFC president Dana White by praising Hitler on his podcast. The fighter has previously courted controversey by embracing Qanon, insurrectionism and Biblical Flat Earthism.
“I really do think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy to go fishing with,” Mitchell said. “He fought for his country...Hitler fought for his country, he wanted to purify it by expelling the greedy Jews who were destroying his country and turning them all into homosexuals."
Dana White's response was tepid and dismissive. In my opinion, this is a UFC publicity stunt. Nobody would know who Bryce Mitchell is were it not for his offensive opinions. “I’ve heard a lot of dumb, ignorant s— in my day, but this one’s probably the worst,” Dana White comented adding, "anyone that even tries to take an opposing position is a moron.”
I wonder, why didn't Eric Dubay ever join UFC? It's that not unfriendly toward Hitler praising Flat Earthers. All Bryce Mitchell recieved was a mild slap on the wrist.
By way of apology, he stated "I didn't mean to offend anyone and I'm sorry I did. I'm definitely not a Nazi and I definitely don't approve of any of the evil things Hitler did."
I suppose the ADL will give him a pass. Perhaps he's autistic and exuberant. He's definitely not a Nazi and Elon Musk didn't do a Hitler salute. Don't believe your lying eyes and ears but instead rely upon disingenuous media promoted propagandists to tell you what to believe.
