Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy on Monday called on President Donald Trump to condemn a UFC fighter's false insult against former first lady Michelle Obama.

The vocal Trump supporter said he found the comments from Josh Hokit on Sunday night at the White House lawn inappropriate.

"There was one moment I do think Trump has to denounce and anybody associated with it has to denounce and that's that crazy fighter guy — I don't even have his name up here — but he won the fight. He took the microphone and he made a derogatory comment about Michelle Obama," Portnoy said....

Shane Gillis made it clear that he wasn't a fan of UFC fighter Josh Hokit insulting former First lady Michelle Obama while President Donald Trump had a different reaction.

The right-leaning comedian was leaving the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House Sunday night when TMZ asked him what he thought about the false and offensive remark from the 28-year-old mixed martial arts athlete.

"Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” Hokit said inside the Octogon during an interview with Joe Rogan. The crowd booed and cheered — Trump apparently smiled while he sat ringside, CNN reported. ...

President Donald Trump got personal on Tuesday, posting a video attacking former First lady Michelle Obama and praising Vice President JD Vance.

Trump shared the video clip on his Truth Social platform. It said "watch the difference in thinking" and featured different cuts from frank conversations around parenting and life in the White House, and juxtaposed them in a split-screen targeting Obama's comments. It aimed to "contrast" Obama's statements with Vance's remarks on family life, taking a swing at the Democrat and "the perpetual victims, that the left are, where they see oppression in everything."

The president has often taken jabs at Michelle Obama and her husband, former President Barack Obama, during and prior to the 2016 presidential campaign, throughout his first presidency, and after leaving office. He has criticized their policies, statements and appearances. A post he shared in February on his Truth Social platform depicting Barack and Michelle as animals has been condemned, despite the president defending it....

Michelle Obama and comedian Hasan Minhaj joked about the current state of America during a podcast interview on Monday.

Minhaj joined the former first lady and her brother Craig Robinson for their podcast "IMO," poking fun at how the United States has shifted under President Donald Trump, noting that the new version has a different look and feel.

"Well, that's the 2.0 of life, and when we talk about how do you feel about the country? You know, there are versions of the country that happen, right? And the new version doesn't make the old one bad. It's necessary for growth. And I think we're in just a janky version," Obama said. ...

Former First lady Michelle Obama had a serious reaction to President Donald Trump's decision to tear down the century-old East Wing of the White House for a ballroom, saying it symbolized “a loss for us as a nation.”

In an interview Tuesday with Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast, Obama described how it felt to see the destruction of it as what it represented to the nation, rather than her personal ties to the historic space, according to The Washington Post.

“I think in my body, I felt confusion because I’m like, who are we? What do we value? And who decides that?” Obama said. “That’s the thing that’s going through my head a lot lately. Who are we? What are the rules? Because I’m confused by what are our norms and our mores — not the laws — but how do we live together? That’s the part of it that hurts.”...
