Hunter Biden has issued a challenge to Donald Trump Jr. for a cage fight during a social media rant aimed at the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the South Lawn of the White House.
In what looked like a message to Joe Rogan, he suggested that those upset by the martial arts event should “shut up,” asserting it was a disrespect to the “sacred” grounds of the White House.
“The White House doesn’t belong to Donald Trump or any president. It belongs to the people,” he wrote in an extensive critique.
“To treat the Colosseum like Caesar did goes against everything the Founding Fathers stood for.”
He emphasized, “This isn’t Rome. The president isn’t an emperor handing out entertainment to the masses,” veiling his critique in a reference to the Roman Empire.
“By having an event on the South Lawn, he’s saying, ‘This is my home. I can do whatever I want. I’ll create a Colosseum and have fighters compete in front of me.’”
While he acknowledged the creation of a fighting brand by Rogan and UFC founder Dana White as “a true American success story,” he condemned the Sunday event as “an exhibition of imperialist domination, rather than a celebration of our democratic nation’s 250th anniversary.”
“The President is our servant, not our Caesar,” he wrapped up the message, throwing in the suggestion for a cage match.
“P.S. A cage match between me and Don Jr.? Just let me know the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.”
Interestingly, Biden didn’t bring up instances when his father faced criticism for actions associated with the White House or the American flag, such as the installation of a Pride flag on the Truman Balcony in 2023, which contradicted flag protocols.
He also skipped over the controversial event of that same year, where transgender TikTok influencers were invited to pose topless to showcase their mastectomy scars on the South Lawn.
