I had thought the whole UFC Freedom 250 event was gimmicky, but had some good matchups. Man was I wrong, it was a spectacular event. They showed us a lot of the White House with the fighter walk outs, and involved a lot of service members and Medal of Honor recipients in the walk outs. And not many are talking about it, but the Marine Band was killing the live music to make a UFC event we’ll never see again. And God parted the thunderstorms around the event so the weather was perfect, and what I expected as many of the fighters, military and law enforcement are believers. And we had several fighters who gave glory to God at the event. And to top it off, all the fights were finishes culminating in one of the most exciting fighters, massive underdog Justin Gaethje, winning the much deserved lightweight championship by defeating an undefeated fighter, afterwards giving praise to our nation and God in his post-fight interview. The whole thing was epic, and beyond the direct crowd, in the nearby park they had screens and thousands of people came out to watch it there while having a great time. And a great visual was the Navy and Air Force acrobatic teams flying in formation together. If you didn’t see the event, you missed a national celebration that was truly special.

Heather Cox Richardson is a supposed historian. During a recent discussion with former CNN employee Jim Acosta, she tried to tie the UFC Freedom 250 Fight at the White House to the historic lynching of black people.
This is the same woman who just last month, claimed that Republicans accuse other people of what they themselves are doing, and then suggested that the GOP learned this tactic from the Nazis.
In short, this woman is completely insane, or a liar, or both. But the left loves her. She has a massive following on the Substack platform.
In the video below, she actually says:
“It’s not really a stretch to say that the same impulse that created the UFC fight on the white House lawn is the impulse that really pushed lynching in the late 19th century.”
Watch:
‘Historian’ Heather Cox Richardson tells Jim Acosta:
“It’s not really a stretch to say that the same impulse that created the UFC fight on the white House lawn…
…is the impulse that really pushed lynching in the late 19th century.”
Acosta nods right along with this batsh*t… pic.twitter.com/dd9aJUR6Mz

It’s incredible how she says all of this nonsense with a completely straight face. If she actually believes this, she needs mental help.
Some people on the left are just so desperate to believe the worst about President Trump and his supporters that they dream up dark fantasies like this one, then say them out loud and try to convince others that it’s true.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.
Millions of Americans watched the UFC event and had fun while feeling pride for their country. This makes people like Richardson miserable, so her impulse is to somehow ‘ruin’ the event. That’s what she’s trying to do here.
It just comes off as pathetic and sad.
