Michael Chandler is set to jump into the political fray.
The UFC fighter and former Bellator lightweight champion is scheduled to speak at an upcoming “Americafest 2021” event alongside conservative firebrands such as Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Donald Trump Jr.. The event will also feature the likes of Jack Posobiec, a correspondent for One America News Network (OANN) who has ties to far-right extremists.
The event is hosted by Turning Point USA, a right-wing youth group that advocates for conservative values on high school, college, and university campuses. Founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, the group has become a dominant force in campus conservatism and enjoyed support from former President Donald Trump and funding from a range of Republican politicians.
