UFC chief Dana White has launched a scathing attack on Kamala Harris following her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying her potential presidency should “scare the hell out of people.”
White, who is close friends with Donald Trump, posted his comments to X on Thursday evening.
White shared a clip of Harris giving a stormy response to Colbert when asked what she would change if she won next month’s election: “I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE to make.
“She is the sitting Vice President and candidate for President of the United States. She’s unable to put together a sentence without a teleprompter and even she seems to know she’s in way over her head.
“This election is very important and this, along with the many other clips of her trying to answer questions, should scare the hell out of you!!!”
White is a staunch supporter of Trump, whom he often welcomes to UFC events

In her response to Colbert, Harris said, “Well, I’m clearly not Joe Biden. That would be one change.
“But it’s also important to say that with 28 days to go, I am not Donald Trump. And so when we think about the meaning of what this next generation of leadership looks like, where I could be elected president, it’s honestly about, I love the American people and I believe in our country.
‘I love that it is in our character and nature to be an ambitious people. We have ambitions, we have dreams. We have an incredible work ethic. And I just believe that we can create the success that we’ve achieved and build on it in a way that we continue to create opportunities.”
White has made no secret of his support for the Republican Party, even revealing last month that he spoke to Trump about an hour before debating Trump on live television.
White explained, “I don’t know how it went or what happened, but I know he took it seriously. He said, “I look at this as a heavyweight fight. I don’t take anyone lightly.”
“I talked to him when I came here, right as we got off the plane. I was in LA today.
‘First of all, this is the second time he has had to debate. They didn’t like how the debate was going. They want to kick that guy [Biden] out. He is unable to run for office, yet he is still the President of the United States. Now they’re bringing in someone who wasn’t chosen to actually be there.”
White has welcomed Trump to UFC events several times and his relationship with the UFC dates back to its early years.

While the sport of MMA was labeled “human cockfighting” and widely condemned, Trump opened his doors and hosted several events at his hotels and casinos in New Jersey.
As the sport and organization went mainstream, UFC produced superstars like Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey. Trump has remained closely associated with White and is beloved by much of the UFC roster and fan base.
When the former president attends a fight night, he typically gets a special strike before the main card and sits next to White.
In June, White praised Trump for his resilience and his love for the United States.
“You take one of the greatest fighters of all time, Trump is No. 1. The most resilient human being I’ve ever met in my life,” White told One Nation with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News.
‘Why keep doing this? You have money, you have a great life… why do you keep doing this? All I can tell you – and this is a fact – is that this man loves this country.”
“He loves all Americans – no matter what color, religion or whatever. He’s not a racist, he’s a good person,” White added.
“He loves America and he cares about this country. Period. End of story. If he wasn’t that type of person, I would never associate myself with him.’
White also introduced Trump at the Republican National Convention in July.
