Fan-favorite comedian spotted attending exclusive Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the White House
Comedian Nate Bargatze is facing backlash for attending the White House-hosted UFC Freedom 250 fight. Bargatze, known for his non-political and family-friendly comedy style, was spotted in an Instagram story posted by actress Cheryl Hines, alongside her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and JD Vance.
He was also seen in photos with former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Joe Rogan, Luke Bryan, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. The event, which coincided with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday, has drawn criticism for its use of public property and lack of congressional approval.
Many have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with some calling for a boycott of Bargatze's work. One user described him as "MAGANate" and stated that they no longer find him funny, while another sold their tickets to his upcoming show at half price. The event, which hosted around 4,000 to 5,000 invited guests, including 1,000 military members, has sparked controversy amid the Iran War and an affordability crisis affecting many Americans.
