Dana White praises President Donald Trump during RNC appearance, fact checkers pounce on speech

Dana White is unapologetically a massive fan of President Donald Trump, and he showed it for more than five minutes during the 2020 Republican National Convention on Thursday night.

The time slot for White’s appearance was notable, because Thursday serves as the final evening of the convention where Trump officially accepts his nomination from the Republican party to run for a second term.

During a pre-taped speech filmed in Las Vegas, White spoke out against recent efforts to defund police after protests sprung up across the globe in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.

“Come on America, defunding these vital positions is not the answer,” White shouted.
