Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White said on Wednesday during the “Full Send” podcast that all Americans should be “pissed” about the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Trump was shot and slightly wounded in the right ear during the assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania, that left former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore dead and two other attendees wounded. White said that people need to “take all the hate out” and remember that Trump is “a human being.” (RELATED: ‘Scary Times’: Donald Trump Jr Shares Intimate Update After Assassination Attempt)
