Critics are calling out UFC fighter Josh Hokit for vile comments he made about former first lady Michelle Obama after winning his bout at the White House event held on President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.

“And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” he told Joe Rogan during his post-match interview, conducted in the Octagon that had been set up on the White House lawn.

Trump was in attendance at the event.

When the fight was over, Hokit gifted Trump with a medallion of some kind, placing it around the president’s neck:

Hokit has a history of over-the-top antics. He appeared to throw up on himself a little during his weigh-in on Friday, saying, “maybe I was out drinking,” but fans weren’t convinced and thought it was fake.

He also has a long history of ugly and racist comments, and accusing women of being men appears to be one of his go-to insults.

Critics on social media called him out over his attack on Obama:

Absolutely disgusting. https://t.co/Z8yYVvtna9

Absolute trash https://t.co/Rgqi4fOTyf

This POS was literally drooling and throwing up on himself yesterday, and today is shucking/jiving for Trump’s bitcoin. https://t.co/kLX5fWMJSu

Absolute end of empire nonsense https://t.co/GUMtGWScvK

This is MAGA. The absolute worst of America https://t.co/I59jl6r29G

I have covered every president since Ronald Reagan. I can honestly say that not once in 40 years have I ever thought I would see anything like this on the South Lawn of the White House. https://t.co/vKCib14rNO

🚨OMG. A fighter just declared “Michelle Obama is a man” on the White House lawn as Joe Rogan chuckles. Tonight is a DISGRACE to our country, not a celebration.  pic.twitter.com/VdtMtA5UKa

This is who Republicans are, up and down the ballot.It’s what you support if you vote for them at any level. https://t.co/728rqk0tXK

don’t know who this guy is but man this is embarrassing and gross from all those involved https://t.co/ZL7Y0YKttE

MAGA will be remembered as the most embarrassing political phenomenon ever to stain the history of America, just a gutter movement that elevated the worst, dumbest, most vile among us https://t.co/sNAeVr4snp

MAGA is obsessed with the Obamas. Dude just won a fight and he’s got Michelle Obama on his mind. At the white house on the 250th. Weirdos man. https://t.co/np8cZEjffa

Calling Michelle Obama a man on the White House lawn is the most pathetic shit I’ve ever seen.

Since this is (apparently) a sporting event I will comment:Fools congregate with fools.The MMA is full of men like this who will willingly spout racism, sexism and abuse from the mic with no consequences. MMA is also Trump’s greatest ally in the sports world.For a reason. https://t.co/wMS9Q9P9kv
