Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is making sure everyone knows exactly what she thinks about the UFC Freedom 250 event unfolding on the White House lawn—and she’s not shy about the biological implications of those who disagree.
Speaking to reporters before the controversial Sunday event kicked off, Luna framed support for President Trump’s decision to host the fight as less a matter of opinion and more a matter of chemistry. According to her take, anyone who produces testosterone is naturally going to love what’s happening. By that logic, those pushing back against the spectacle? Well, Luna’s message to them is pretty clear—she’s essentially calling out critics as lacking in the very hormone she’s making the centerpiece of her argument. It’s a cheeky way of dismissing liberal backlash, to say the least.
The Florida representative also took the opportunity to share what she told President Trump on his 80th birthday, extending congratulations that included praise for a newly brokered peace deal with Iran. Meanwhile, Senator Ted Cruz jumped into the birthday wishes as well, brushing off detractors and their complaints about the event altogether. The vibe from Trump’s allies is consistent: this is happening, and if you don’t like it, well, biology isn’t on your side.
UFC Freedom 250 got underway with President Trump and UFC President Dana White making their grand entrance together, and the evening has already delivered memorable moments. Top UFC fighters showed up for the fights themselves, with plenty more on hand just to soak in the historic nature of the event. Whether you think hosting a premier fighting event on the nation’s most iconic lawn is brilliant or bonkers, one thing’s clear—this administration isn’t backing down from the spectacle.
